JBCL URL Tester

• The list of URLs to test can be edited and saved (uses Windows Notepad to edit)
• If some URLs are expected to return e.g. 401 or 403 (not authorised) this can be set as the expected response so that it does not show as an error.
• Quite a few options about how the tests run - if colours are used, and how colours show for expected results.
• Tests can be run at regular intervals
• Detailed errors for each failure (400/404/500/504 etc) are logged
• statistics on responsiveness of the website or web server are kept - e.g. pages that are slow to respond.
• Can select part of the list to test, or all

Note about the list of URLs

• The list of URLs are stored in a text file URLTestList.txt
• Each line has a URL to test, such as https://www.websitea.com
• If a site is expected to respond with a 401 or 403 (unauthorised) you can mark this by adding for example <Tab>403 after the URL
• lines starting with ; or # are comments and are not tested - useful to document sections of the file.
• All URLs should start with http:  or https:
• This uses the OS native connections  (Delphi talking to the underlying Windows networking) - so for example in Windows follows the proxy settings in Internet Options
• Used at work to monitor over 100 web services
