Get URL and URL Content Tool

Use the Get URL and URL Content tool to retrieve an item from a Web server. The URL specifies the server to contact and the item to return. Because SiteScope displays the content of the requested URL, this tool also functions to check URL Content. You can use this utility to verify that a given URL can be accessed from a Web server. You can also use it to see how long it takes for the page to be returned.

Complete the Get URL form as indicated. Clicking the Get URL button will initiate the test. The results of the test are displayed on the lower portion of the page. The results include statistics on the URL retrieval as well as a text representation of the URL content.

URL: Enter the URL that you want to test (for example, http://demo.thiscompany.com).
User Name: If the URL specified above requires a name and password for access, enter the user name in this box.
Password: If the URL specified requires a name and password for access, enter the password in this box.
Proxy: Optionally, a proxy server can be used to access the URL. Enter the address or domain name and port of an HTTP Proxy Server.
Proxy User Name: If the proxy server requires a name and password to access the URL, enter the name here.
Proxy Password: If the proxy server requires a name and password to access the URL, enter the password here.
Content Match: Enter a string of text to check for in the returned page or frameset. If the text is not contained in the page, the content match will fail. The search is case sensitive. Remember that HTML tags are part of a text document, so include the HTML tags if they are part of the text you are searching for (for example, "< B> Hello< /B> World").
Error Content Match: Enter a string of text to check for in the returned page or frameset. If the text is contained in the page, the test will indicate an error condition. The search is case sensitive.
Retrieve Frames: Check this option to have SiteScope retrieve image data linked to the URL being requested.
Retrieve Images: Check this option to have SiteScope retrieve image data linked to the URL being requested.
