beautifulsoup - python http page without heads -

i have search specific url, through large number of ips. i've written script in python checks if port open, , checks if url exist using httplib, , it's working great! problem i've been getting many false-positives, because net devices, give status 200 when ask page, , returns page 400 error on body

here code:

def mypage(self,ip):     try:         conn = httplib.httpconnection(ip)         conn.request("head", "/path/to/mypage.php")         resp = conn.getresponse()         if (resp.status == 200):             return true         else :             return false     except :         return false 

i solved problem checking title tag on body of page

def mypage(self,ip):     try:         conn = httplib.httpconnection(ip)         conn.request("get", "/path/to/mypage.php")         resp = conn.getresponse()         if (resp.status == 200):             html = beautifulsoup(resp.read())             data = html.find('title')             titulo = str(data.contents[0])             if titulo == "the title":                 return true             else:                 return false         else :             return false     except :         return false
