Hi Folks, I'm thinking about writing a script that can be run over a whole site and produce a report about broken links etc...
I've been playing with the urllib2 and httplib modules as a starting point and have found that with urllib2 it doesn't seem possible to get HTTP status codes. I've had more success with httplib... Firstly I create a new HTTPConnection object with a given hostname and port then I try connecting to the host and catch any socket errors which I can assume mean the server is either down or doesn't exist at this place anymore. If the connection was successful I try requesting the resource in question, I then get the response and check the status code. So, I've got the tools I need to do the job sufficiently. Just wondering whether anybody can recommend any alternatives. Cheers, -Blair -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
