I'm curious why you felt the need to build such a program from scratch
rather than using Tom Moran's Finder, which does that (and has for a long
time). (You can find it on AdaPower.) Tom's program checks local links, but
also checks foreign links, including those to FTP sites, and also handles
cookies so that sites that only work when cookies are accepted get properly
checked.
I used (with help from Tom) Finder as the basis of the indexer for the Ada
Search Engine on AdaIC.
Randy.
