Project description

existence

Recursively scans directories for static html files for bad or empty links. See here why I wrote this, I hate missing details!

Example bad or empty links

<a href=""></a>            Empty
<a href></a>               Empty
<a href="python.org"></a>  Any bad link will fail, this one is missing http://
