  • Publication number: 20050223082
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for verifying the integrity of web server content. One method receives a request for a Uniform Resource Locator, with the request originating from a referring Uniform Resource Locator. A response to the request is communicated. The method then stores the requested Uniform Resource Locator, the referring Uniform Resource Locator, a status code associated with the response, and a file size associated with the response. Logical rules are applied and a report is generated which pinpoints the URLs in error.
