.NET Passport Service by rix on 10-12-2004 at 03:52 PM

Hi!

I'd like to add an image/note to my webpage about the status of .NET Passport Service. Is it online, down etc. So is it possible and if,  can somebody show the code or something?!

Thanks!

I don't think it's possible... the most you can probable do is add a link to the page of messenger that displays that info (which i don't know what it is (i can't open it))

you could use some sort of PHP logging in script to see if you can login to msn, and then use that as the status.

Wouldn't that like make the user waiting for the page until the script logged in? :P Maybe you could do something with an i-frame or something... or extract it from that http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx page... :S

Why don't you just write in static text "The .NET framework is undergoing maintenance" like it always seems to be :dodgy:
jk

Well you could do something like what madman said  - just iframe the status from Microsoft's site, or use a PHP code to anilyze the text on the site (e.g. search for "is running correctly" or "maintenance" and display the info that way.
