[Htmlparser-user] Validating Links

[OwenM <ow...@ow...>]

I'm hoping someone can point to which part of htmlparser I should 
use to write a simple links validator.  I can use LinkExtractor to 
get a list of links on a page, but what technique is best to attempt 
to follow a link, and get a success, or failure in the case of invalid 
links?

many thanks,
Owen.

The ConnectionManager's openConnection(URL) method may be useful.
