How do Netcraft calculate uptime?
Maybe the wrong forum for this, but anyway:

Just wondered if anyone here knows how netcraft ( http://www.netcraft.com ) calculates the uptime of webservers?

It's not something that's reported from webserver thru the http headers so I'm really curious how they do it

It's been a long time but according to them they ping the servers or something (they call samples). Search.

No, they don't ping the server, that Im sure of

I've been searching on google and didn't find anything on this.
