[Zope] checking existance of an url?

[Ralph Gauges]

Hi,

I am trying to write a little python script that checks if a certain URL exists on the server. So what the script gets is the URL as a string, but so far I have not been able to find a way to check if the corresponding objects exists short of using urllib.
Is there an easy way of doing this? I have been looking through all kinds of documentation, but found nothing so far.

Thanks

Ralph
