If I try to load a file that does not exists on the server then the http server returns 404 page. In this case HttpClient returns no error so I search returned buffer for 404 inside <TITLE> tag.

1) Is there any better way how to detect that file does not exists on the server?

Use GetStatusCode() to get HTTP status code.

2) How to detect non-existing server? (Another way that wait for timeout).

On timeout, the result will be an empty string and you can use IsError() as well.
You can get error message calling GetError().
