Vindicator is a project mainly written in JavaScript, it's free.

A very simple crawler written in node

Node Crawler

"A fun toy"

Just a sample crawler to tell you if you have any dead links. Please keep in mind this is just an off-the-cuff project and not meant to represent any sort of good practices.

Installation

git clone git://github.com/sgrove/nodespider.git
npm install request
npm install jsdom

Usage

node crawl.js http://news.ycombinator.com

TODO (In no order)

  1. Add credentials for basic auth to be able to crawl behind protected sites as well.
  2. Setup connection pooling
  3. Make it "work" :)

Thanks
