Find Web Pages which do not ask for credentials

Question

Hi
I know that it is possible to send or post or insert some input into web pages using Powershell
but what i want maybe seems somehow weird
there are about 200 Access points with Web Access enabled
but the support team has forgotten to make password asking forced to open their web pages
I want my powershell code to open a web page an return true if no user/pass is asked and 1 if it requires
is that possible ?!

That's great, I'm glad its working for you now. Here's a commented version of the same code along with some additional links:
# Create a .Net WebClient object
$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
# Read the input file and check each site
Get-Content .\sites.txt | ForEach {
# Create hashtable for site/status output
$props = @{
Site = $_
Status = ''
# Attempt to connect, if successful set status to OPEN
# If unsuccessful, set status to Secure
try {
$null = $wc.OpenRead("$_")
$props.Status = 'OPEN'
} catch {
$props.Status = 'Secure'
# Create new object based on completed $props hashtable
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
