Urgent request for testing availability of websites.


 

 

 





Is there a way through ant to do 

a) Login in to a website - success or failure based on status codes.
b) To test hyperlink's to check if the applications are running.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Canoo WebTest has Ant tasks to do that:

Look in the Extension for storeResponseCode which will let you test for 
other than status 200 responses.

If you just want to make sure the URL for a website
returns a valid HTTP code (i.e. the website is
responsing) try the <waitfor> task.

We do the following to test that our Tomcat App
servers are up:

      <waitfor maxwait="30" maxwaitunit="second"
timeoutproperty="server.is.unavailable">
         <http url="${server.url}"/>
      </waitfor>        
      <fail if="server.is.unavailable" message="Sorry,
the server at ${server.url} is unavailable at this
time..."/>
