I've GPLed an old class of mine. This PHP class, a link validator, i wrote in october 2003 and only used it in a site of mine nlweed.com to check if posted links are still valid. Now I found the class and thought that it would be a waste only to use it ones. This class can check a link and will return the status. Easy to implement in your own scripts. So here is the GPLed version. Check the source for documentation and the readme for code examples. Now it checks HTTP/1.0 served links too. (fixed hanging links). Follows redirection headers when status is an 301, 302 till 399. PHP4 and PHP5 campatible.
