NAME

tr_httpcheck -- check if a particular web-pages exists

SYNOPSIS

USAGE: tr_httpcheck [-heEs] [url1 url2...]

DESCRIPTION

tr_httpcheck is a post-processor for tr_blck to allow for checking of absolute linke of the type http://....

OPTIONS

-h this help

-e print only results if an error was found

-E Like -e but print a . for every checked url.

If no URL is given then tr_httpcheck reads output from \"tr_blck -a\" on stdin and processes it. Note: This program does only http type of protocol checks. It can e.g not check https or ftp.

EXAMPLES

check a single url: tr_httpcheck http://www.tuxgraphics.org/

check many URLs extracted with tr_blck from web pages: tr_blck -a *.html | tr_httpcheck -E

ENVIRONMENT

tr_httpcheck uses under the hood curl (make sure you have curl installed).

This software uses curl to fetch the URLs and you may use the http_proxy environment variable to pass a proxy to curl The format of the http_proxy variable looks like "http://www-proxy:8080/" and the no_proxy is a comma or space seperated list of servers or domains for which a direct connection should be made.

AUTHOR

tr_httpcheck is part of the HTML::TagReader package and was written by Guido Socher

NOTES

If you are interessted in a link checker to check links only via the web-server then this is not the right program for you. This program is just a simple addon to tr_blck. Other programs like e.g

http://linkchecker.sourceforge.net/ or

http://www.linklint.org/

can be used if you want to check your web-pages only remotely via a web server.
