Good luck!

Thanks, I tried it but it seems to be only one URL at a time, and it kicked up 59 errors on the homepage alone so I think it is checking the validity of the html and not the validity of the link itself.

I'm sure there are some more commercial products with wizard-type interfaces to help you, but I don't know what they are. I do know that if you are geeky enough, you could build a script that incorporates Wget to find this out.

Wget is a non-interactive command-line utility that can retrieve web content (http/https/ftp).

In it's simplest form:
wget http://www.google.com
This will retrieve the Google home page and save it to a file in the local directory.

Wget has a recursive download option. You can specify the "depth" level of links to retrieve.

You can query the status of each request to see if you get 200 or something else--like a 404, etc.

So it's not exactly out-of-the-box plug & play for you, but a solution could be built around Wget.

Hi, I can do it with a program... I have my programs do it all the time, to make sure "image links" i use on websites are valid, otherwise i fill in the image with a generic image. if you still need help, stenson1 at gmail dot com.
