A tool to check the status of a weblink and also see whether it is archived in the Internet Archive.
Try it out here httpreserve.info
The library comes with a default server mode that can be configured for POST and GET requests. POST by default. Default port is :2040 but this can also be selected at runtime.
The default server can also be stood up as a web service. The API is documented below.
The httpreserve linstat client is a separate application offering simple access to httpreserve functionality through the command line. See linkstat
The client application is a work in progress. Stay tuned for more information about its capabilities.
Primary entry point when the server is running:
http://{httpreserve-ip-address}:{port}/httpreserve
or
http://{httpreserve-ip-address}:{port}/save
GET example:
-
Return JSON struct with information about the service you requested:
http://{httpreserve-ip-address}:{port}/httpreserve?url=http://www.google.com&filename=filename.txt
-

http://{httpreserve-ip-address}:{port}/save?url=http://www.google.com&filename=filename.txt
