[thelist] link checking software?

Tue May 1 10:52:11 CDT 2001

hi!

we're interested in a new link checker. our current one just "spiders," a
consequence of which is that when it meets a broken link on a page, it
stops. so you have to fix a link, re-check, etc.

is there a link checker that will check go through all the directories and
documents on a site and compile a comprehensive report all at once, so we
don't have to do this iterative process? 

the spider problem is that we fix a link, re-run, and get more bad links.
this might make a non-savvy management feel like we're not fixing links.
they say, well, you fixed it, but there are more broken ones! can't you fix
them all? plus it's just so much more convenient to be able to get a
complete report.

all URLs and recommendations deeply appreciated!

tia,

fortune
