Which tab was I on again? - Finishing up on Release 0.1

on

What a busy day it's been!

I was finally able to get my URL Checker up and running to a satisfactory level, and it can now be found at CheckMyLinks.

Thanks to the help from some generous students, my final major issue was cleaned up, which involved links being passed to my program that caused request timeouts, which were crashing the process.

To use the project, the user must ensure that Python is downloaded on their machine so as to run the following command to install the necessary packages:

        pip3 install --editable .

Once they are successfully installed, there are 3 ways to run the program:

1) If you have a URL to check on it's own, enter

python checkMyURL.py <your URL here>

2) If there are links you want checked on a specific URL, use

python checkMyURL.py --parse_URL <your URL here>


3) If you have a file of any type that may contain links, try

python checkMyURL.py --parse_file <your file here>

(See the README for these instructions)

The features included are:

  • Colourized indicators for good, bad, and unknown links
  • Support for links that have timeout issues
  • Implementation of checking a URL on its own

Now to close all of these tabs!
