Hello.
I am looking for a way to test whether each internet link in a list of internet links is valid.
Do you know of any software that does this?
Basically, I would like to provide a text file as input and have the software report on whether each link is valid or invalid.
The sample text file might look like the below text:
Bayonet Ventures LLP. Home
http://bayonetventure.com/
Note that the first above link is valid, but the second link is missing an “s” at the end. The problem with the software that we have tested is that it reports both above links as being valid. This is because when you click on the second (non-valid) link, you are redirected to
OpenDNS.
Therefore, the software that we tested cannot detect that the second link is broken.
Does anyone know of any software that is sophisticated enough to deal with this issue? We are happy to write our own Dot Net / VBA code, if we get a push in the right direction.
Many thanks for your help.
