Notes
The name of this module [Network] Http Ping is a bit of a misnomer. There is no such thing as an HTTP Ping of course. So this module is really just a way of sending a plain HTTP GET request to a webserver. It is a little faster and easier than using the [Network] Http Action module to accomplish the same thing. But it is handy in that sometimes all that is needed is to send the HTTP GET request for a given URL on a website in order to cause the site to do something. Or sometimes even not do something because the webserver has received a request within a certain timeframe.
