URL Checker

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Russ,

Thanks for including me in your response. I wasn't aware of the Socket
object, but I just tried your script and it works great! This opens up
possibilities for some interesting applications. Thanks again.

John and Scott (and Rick),

I have a sample ExtendScript that uses the Socket object, called
"NETWORK_-_Retrieve_text_over_network.jsx". It retrieves text from a webpage
and sticks it into a document. It could be easily modified to just look for
the 200 OK message. All in all, this would be a very short and generally
simple script for an experienced developer. A great idea for a script,
really. I should add it to the group. I could use it myself.

You got me thinking about this. Here's some really basic ExtendScript code
that will iterate over all markers and check the text of "message URL"
Hypertext markers to see if they are valid files (on the local file

system). This would need to be cleaned up a bit to make it useful, but
definitely doable ..

var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var marker = doc.FirstMarkerInDoc;
while (marker.id) {
 if (marker.MarkerTypeId.Name == "Hypertext") {  var markerText =
marker.MarkerText;  if (markerText.substr(0,11) == "message URL") {  var
target = markerText.substr(12);  // tests for local files  var file =
File(target);  if (file.exists) {  Console("GOOD ["+target+"]");  } else {
Console("BAD ["+target+"]");  }  }  }  marker = marker.NextMarkerInDoc; }

It turns out that you can test for remote (web-based) URLs using the Socket
object.

Cheers,

...scott
