| 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. |
