URL Checker

[Rick Quatro]

Hi John,

I did something like this for a client with FrameScript. I used the
Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0 object built into MSXML 4.0 (Microsoft's free XML
parser) to send a GET request to each URL. If I got a "200" returned, the
link was OK; a "404" told me that the link was incorrect. I think I used the
Book Error Log to report the bad links.

Since Sharepoint is browser-based (I think), this type of script may work
for you. If you are interested, please let me know and we can try some
tests.

I am not sure this will work with ExtendScript, because there is no ActiveX
interface like there is with FrameScript.

Hi, guys...FM 11.

I have a section in my books that is just pages and pages of links to text,
sql, excel, and PDF files that are out on our Sharepoint system.

As we go forward, the links are becoming a maintenance issue. While I know I
cannot automate the creation of the links, I'd like to have something that
can validate my links.

Each link is defined as a "Go to URL" hyperlink and it is an absolute link,
not relative.

Has anyone done this kind of scripting?

Thanks
