URI http get

I have a website and by accessing it from the browser, for example:
"http://www.xxxx.com:1111/status", the web page will display "ok" only
if the URI is up. And it will return "website could not be found" alert
if the URI is down.

In Python, is there a way to retrieve "ok" programmatically and detect
alert if the URI is down?

The "urllib2" module is designed for tasks like this. The tutorial
shows how to use urllib2.urlopen() to fetch the contents of a URL
using the http protocol.
