curl -I
usesHEAD
requests, which don't work on all servers. Links really only needGET
, so we can fallback to that ifHEAD
fails.I also added support for FTP status checking, once I found a way to get that information out. I needed to suppress the regular output of
curl
, which required redirecting to a file throughcurl -o
(so I needed to use/dev/null
instead of Julia'sdevnull
).This ended up making the regex matching code simpler.
