DESCRIPTION

This program will spider the specified url and check the availability of the links, images and stylesheets on each page. Pages and stylesheets are also validated with the validators available at http://validator.w3.org and http://jigsaw.w3.org.

When all pages are checked two reports in HTML-format are generated. The full.html report contains all the information for all pages and the summ.html report contains only the pages with errors and their errors.

Metrics for a spidered page

Each page fetched by the spider will have these metrics:

  • status, status_tx

    The HTTP-returncode and a verbal explanation of that code

  • title

    The contents of the <title></title> tag.

  • ct

    The MIME type returned by the HTTP-server for the document.

  • valid

    The HTML-validation result.

  • links

    A list of <a href=>, <area href=> and <frame src=> uri's found on the page with the HTTP-returncode. Each HTML-code is also checked for the text or ALT/TITLE attribute.

  • link_cnt, links_ok

    The number of links found and the number of links that are ok.

  • images

    A list of <img src=> and <input type=image> uri's found on the page with the HTTP-returncode and MIME type. Each HTML tag is also checked for the existance of the ALT attribute.

  • image_cnt, images_ok

    The number of images found and the number of images that are ok.

  • styles

    A list of <link rel=stylesheet type=text/css> uri's found on the page with the HTTP-returncode, MIME type and CSS-validation result.

  • style_cnt, styles_ok

    The number of stylesheets found and the number of stylesheets that are ok.
