ALiVe! 1.0 Basic Description
For a variety of reasons, web pages move and occasionally disappear
without any notification to the people who link to them. ALiVe! simply
verifies these links and reports to you which ones are dead links.
ALiVe! 1.0 Detailed Description
At first, ALiVe! works very similarly to a web browser. You give it a
URL, it downloads the page from the web, and then extracts the links.
The major difference being that instead of displaying the page for you to
read, AliVe extracts all of the links from the page and puts them into a
database. It then proceeds to download each of the links that it deems
to also be a part of your website.
Once it has downloaded all of the pages from your site and extracted the
links, it begins the "Validation" process. By validation, I mean that it
connects to the webserver that the link points to and attempts to
download the page as usual. If it an error, it logs the error and
continues on. If the download begins successfully, it will cancel the
transfer and move on to the rest of the links.
At the end of the process, you are presented with a detailed summary of
the number of links on your website, and how many of those links suffer
from problems, so that you may correct them.
