Have you even tried looking at something ?

InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0)

Hi Loic,

I have tried to read the properties, but can't find the status method. Guide to me

hyerlinkstatus();

function hyerlinkstatus(){ 

    var d = app.documents[0]; 

    var allHyperlinks = d.hyperlinks; 

    var myArr = new Array();

    for(var n=0;n<allHyperlinks.length;n++){ 

        myArr = new Array();

        for(var x in allHyperlinks.properties){ 

        myArr.push(allHyperlinks.properties+"\r");

        }

    }; 

    alert(myArr);     

};

Thanks,

selva

Indeed, no properties or methods seem to actually return the hyperlink destination status as the panel does.

I hope I am wrong but if confirmed, then the solution might be to call command line and ping every single urls and analyze the result.

See doScript for that.

Well, in theory, you can send HEAD request through Socket connection, and check if response status code is 200 Ok

for example using this code

var site = "forums.adobe.com";
conn = new Socket;
if (conn.open (site+":80","UTF-8")) {
    var request = "HEAD / \n\n";
    conn.write (request);
    var reply = conn.read(50);
    conn.close();
    //alert(reply);
    var firstLine = reply.split("\n")[0];
    var statusCode = firstLine.split(" ")[1];
    var statusMsg = firstLine.split(/^.+\d{3}/)[1];
    if(statusCode != 200) alert(site + " is not reachable:\n" + statusMsg);
}

The problem is that socket didn't work with https (or at least I don't know how) and many sites now use it...
