Methods, systems, and products for verifying integrity of web-server served content
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for verifying the integrity of web server content. A request for a Uniform Resource Locator is received, with the request originating from a referring Uniform Resource Locator. A response to the request is communicated. The requested Uniform Resource Locator is stored along with the referring Uniform Resource Locator, a status code associated with the response, and a file size associated with the response. Logical rules are applied and a report is generated which pinpoints the URLs in error.
1. A method, comprising:
receiving a request from a client for a Uniform Resource Locator, the request originating from a referring Uniform Resource Locator;
communicating a response to the request;
receiving a result of a web page integrity verification performed by the client; and
storing in a database the requested Uniform Resource Locator and the referring Uniform Resource Locator to determine if an error exists in the response.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising identifying a server-side error in the web page.
3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing the result of the client's web page integrity verification in the database.
4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing the server-side error in the database.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing the referring Uniform Resource Locator in the database when the response contains no data.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the request for the Uniform Resource Locator comprises requesting a resource associated with the requested Uniform Resource Locator.
7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing a status code associated with the response.
8. A method according to claim 7 , further comprising associating the requested Uniform Resource Locator with the referring Uniform Resource Locator when the status code is erroneous.
9. A method according to claim 7 , further comprising tabulating a number of occurrences of the status code.
10. A method according to claim 7 , further comprising sending the status code to the client.
11. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising storing a file size associated with the response.
12. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising indicating an error when the file size is less than expected.
13. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising associating the requested Uniform Resource Locator with the referring Uniform Resource Locator when the requested Uniform Resource Locator is erroneous.
14. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising presenting to a user at least one of the requested Uniform Resource Locator, the referring Uniform Resource Locator, a status code associated with the response, and a file size associated with the response.
15. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising indicating an error associated with the requested Uniform Resource Locator.
16. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising indicating an error associated with the referring Uniform Resource Locator.
17. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising tabulating erroneous Uniform Resource Locators by referring Uniform Resource Locators.
18. A system, comprising:
a processor executing code stored in memory that causes the processor to:
receive a request from a client for a Uniform Resource Locator, the request originating from a referring Uniform Resource Locator;
communicate a response to the request;
receive a result of a web page integrity verification performed by the client; and
store in a database the requested Uniform Resource Locator and the referring Uniform Resource Locator to determine if an error exists in the response.
