Implementing your own version of ping
Take a url as input.
In a loop try to establish a connection to a website every n seconds (30 is recommended). In the world of web pages, you always want to get Status: 200 back when reaching out to a server.
If you get Status 200 back terminate, otherwise print the status code and keep going. Note that you can terminate your script with Ctrl + C anytime.
To try your script on a not working webpage, you can use something like http://whbfuwvfbiuwe.github.com.1
