Multiple website Status viewer

[jayfella]

I wrote this little program for myself to check the status of multiple sites. A lot of people have more than one site so i figured this would be handy for others as well. Hope it is of use

Basically it will check each site to see if it is working or down. It will do this every x seconds, depending on how long you set the timer. So for example it will check each site in the list every 10 minutes. Its more or less a a desktop up-time monitor.

Has a time-based re-check which you can set.

List of Status codes (also available in the application):

Update:
- Added better status description.
- Multiple site add / remove
- auto-append http:// to url's without it.

KNOWN BUG(?): openDNS steals your error 404 pages. So if you use openDNS, you will get a redirect page instead of an error 404. Ill add a routine to check for the redirect url to get around it.

[jayfella]

well it tells you the status of your site(s). whether they are up (working) or down (not working).

Great Application, but what does the color indicates for

[RT]

Could use an icon great work tho, will use for sure.

[jayfella]

green = fine. orange = warning, red = bad.

The only problem is if you use OpenDNS, what should be a 404 not found will be a 302 redirect because it jacks your 404 pages.
