How to tell if somebody is signed in on AIM

Whilst writing an AIM bot, I needed a way to check if a user was online – after reading AOL’s API I discovered this:

http://big.oscar.aol.com/$aim?on_url=true&off_url=false

replace $aim with the aim address you are querying – if they are online you will be taken here:

http://big.oscar.aol.com/true

if not:

http://big.oscar.aol.com/false
