how to valid if an URL is active

[VenkyM]

Hi,

I want to know what components or logic that I use to check if an URL is active and up and running.

For example, if I type "https://community.talend.com" on a browser, I get to see the content if the url is up and running. otherwise, i find an error (not found or not valid).

I tried DI trestclient which returned the body was not found. I do not need to retrieve any body. I just need to check if the url is active.

any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Venky

Hi

You can try tHttpRequest component, link it to a tJavaRow and check the ResponseContent value, if it is null, means the URL is inactive.

For example:

tHttpRequest--main--tJavaRow.

Uncheck the 'die on error' option on tHttpRequest.

on tJavaRow:

if(input_row.ResponseContent==null){

System.out.println("the URL is inactive");

}
