I wrote a little tool to automate testing WWW servers and traversing
mirrors.
You can specify three values for each test:
- a list of hosts (you can also specify "all www servers of
domain freebsd.org", see below)
- pathname on hosts i.e. /index.html
- a regular expression that should show up (This can be computed, for
example, you can get a version string from a file on the main server
and expect it on mirros).
The tool includes a nameserver walking funtion that returns every host
in a given domain, on request including all subdomains (it finds all
subdomains by itself, of course).
CGI-scripts using GET work flawlessly. Let me know if you need POST as
well.
First result: Out of 41 FreeBSD www-mirrors (counted by name, not IP
number) 25 were not able to serve /index.html up to the string "About
this server" :-(
You can use "urlcheck" on freefall, in /home/cracauer/urlcheck. See
examples.urlcheck for some kind of manual.
Examples of use:
testurl "www.bik-gmbh.de www.cons.org" \
"/~cracauer/lisp.html" \
"CMU"
testurl "www-intern.bik-gmbh.de gilgamesch.bik-gmbh.de" \
"/cgi-bin/html-zaehl0/zzz_mkhtml_caller?dir=burda-ma96&burda-gif=YES&titel1=Reichweitenvergleich+MA+96+Pressemedien+I+zu+MA+95+f%FCr+Zeitschriften%2C+Supplements+und+Wochenzeitungen+nach+ausgew%E4hlten+Verlagen*&titel4=*+Der+Berechnung+liegt+die+aktuelle+Titelliste+laut+MA+96+zugrunde.&titel2=+B.A.C.+Burda+Advertising+Center+GmbH+&zzzname=tmp.96.1&point.x=5&point.y=15" \
"Der Berechnung liegt die aktuelle Titelliste laut MA 96
zugrunde."
testurl "a b c" /index.html `grep $\Date:\$ /usr/local/www/data/index.html`
testurl "`getns '^www' freebsd.org ns.freebsd.org`" \
/index.html "About the FreeBSD WWW Server."
Let me know if you have further problems using it. Oh, yes, don't try
to run it using bash, /bin/sh is king. And no, I don't need CMU Common
Lisp on freefall for this task :-)
CGI interface is coming...
