RE: checklink: Can you call this webservice programmatically, rather than interactively?

Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for the feedback.

One more question: Is it possible to call your checklink utility from a Dot Net assembly?

Many thanks.

Keith

Keith,
        Well first of all w3c-linkchecker is overkill for that purpose. Just using LWP:UserAgent would do fine.

        However that said you could put the links you want to check in a file and check the file. To do the checking you could use the checklink script as a command line tool or use again sue LWP::UserAgent to contact the page.
