Since the script wouldn't have to grab any HTML at all, I
can't see what the problem is. You just do a HEAD request
and check if the result is below 400.
Checking the URL http://www.lugnet.com/boats/ can for
example be done as follows:
Me....: telnet www.lugnet.com 80
Lugnet: Trying 209.68.63.236...
Lugnet: Connected to lugnet.com.
Lugnet: Escape character is '^]'.
Me....: HEAD /boats/ HTTP/1.0
Me....:
* Lugnet: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Lugnet: Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 21:29:46 GMT
Lugnet: Server: Apache/1.2.6
Lugnet: Connection: close
Lugnet: Content-Type: text/html
Lugnet:
Lugnet: Connection closed by foreign host.
It's the line marked with an asterisk that is interesting.
Numbers below 400 correspond to working URL's. 400 and above
are error messages.
I have appended a (t)csh script for checking URL's.
If it is done correctly, the /robots.txt should probably be
checked before the script checks for the existance of the
resource.
Play well,
Jacob
