The script pings the cgi at the listed server and sends the rest of the fields for inclusion in the TrackBack block. IE users receive a response from the server in one of two formats:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<response>
<error>0</error>

<response>
<error>1</error>
<message>The error message</message>
</response>

Mozilla users receive either a "0" or the error number and error message.
