[mod_python] Error in reading remote server file with HTTP

Rahul,

If I understand correcty you want to figure out with a mod_python
program whether a text file on another webserver (which is out of your
control) exists. Correct?

> Os.access(path, os.F_OK) function.

To what I know you can't do that with the os module. You can only
check local paths an a filesystem this way. You would have to perform
an HTTP request on the webserver and interpret the result. If you get
an Error404 the file does not exist.

Does the help you?
