Webchecker

This is a simple web tree checker, useful to find bad links in a web tree. It currently checks links pointing within the same subweb for validity. The main program is "webchecker.py". See its doc string (or invoke it with the option "-?") for more defails.

History:

  • Jan 1997. First release. The module robotparser.py was written by Skip Montanaro; the rest is original work by Guido van Rossum.

  • May 1999. Sam Bayer contributed a new version, wcnew.py, which supports checking internal links (#spam fragments in URLs) and some other options.

  • Nov 1999. Sam Bayer contributed patches to reintegrate wcnew.py into webchecker.py, and corresponding mods to wcgui.py and websucker.py.

  • Mar 2004. Chris Herborth contributed a patch to let webchecker.py handle XHTML's 'id' attribute.
