A small program to check the status of URLs

C.L.I.G.O.N

Introduction

C.L.I.G.O.N or Cligon is an acronym that stands for Check if Link Is Good Or Not. It is designed to check all website links inside a file. This program was written in Python 3.8.2. It will return a list of good, bad, or unknown URL statuses.

• good urls are status code 200.
• bad urls are status codes 400 or 404.
• unknowns are status codes that aren't bad or good.

Usage

For prerequisites please see CONTRIBUTING.

To use Cligon, please run in a terminal of your choice:

python3 cligon.py [file name]

Or, if executable privileges are invoked in a Linux environment (chmod +x cligon):

Ensure you make a copy of cligon.py (cp cligon.py cligon) to execute the command above.

Additionally, instructions and options can be viewed by running Cligon without any arguments.
