I like your solution; however it is limited to only the windows world, which is not the entire web world.When users complain to me that a Web server is down I use good old TELNET. The telnet command always works, just type
telnet webserver.domain.com 80

This solution works on all operating systems and all web servers and is not hampered by a firewall unless that was the original problem.
