Subject: webserver status, need better approach

Hey, I need a better way of checking if a webserver  is online and
operational. The following code
works ok, but it sometimes returns the wrong result. Does anyone have a
better approach?

//Walle

def check_http(server)
  Timeout::timeout(10.0) do
    if(Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse("http://#{server}.something.com")).code
== "200")
    return true
    end
    return false
  end
  rescue Timeout::Error
  return false
  rescue
  return false
  end
