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.
