    I would use TestComplete in-built option called aqHttpRequest 

    Sample code:

     

    function checkLink(URL)
{
  var address = URL;

  var aqHttpRequest = aqHttp.CreateGetRequest(address);

  // Send the request, get an aqHttpResponse object
  var aqHttpResponse = aqHttpRequest.Send(); 
  
  // Read the response data
  Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.AllHeaders); // All headers
  Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.GetHeader("Content-Type")); // A specific header
  Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.StatusCode); // A status code 
  Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.StatusText); // A status text 
  Log.Message(aqHttpResponse.Text); // A response body     
}

Hrm... you might want to try and use onreadystatechange.  I'm not sure 'readyState' is refreshed in such a way that the while loop will detect it.

Alternatively, in your "open" call, try setting to synchronous (false) and completely remove the while loop.  This way the "send" won't return until complete and the while-loop becomes unnecessary.
