Nk_respones_codes

Home

Description

This is a Bash function named nk_response_codes() that retrieves the HTTP response codes of multiple websites. It does this by calling another function called gen_response_code_list, which first prints a table header, and then uses a loop to iterate over all the domains obtained via another function calle nk_list_all_domains() . For each domain, curl is used to retrieve the website, following any redirects, and limiting the query to 5 seconds. The -s option silences download progress and the -o option outputs the results to /dev/null since we don’t need them. Finally, the -w option is used to output the HTTP response code.

The gen_response_code_list() function outputs the results in a format that is then passed through the column command to format the output as a table before being displayed to the user.

Example

[root@cloudvpsserver ~]# nk_response_codes
Domain     Response-Code
nkern.net  200

Code

nk_response_codes() {
# nk_respones_codes is basically a wrapper around gen_respose_code_list that formats the output.
gen_response_code_list() {
# First Print out the headers
echo "Domain Response-Code"

# Now for every domain on the server. Obtained via running nk_list_all_domains
for domain in $(nk_list_all_domains); do
   # Print out the domain name and it's curl result.
   # -L to follow links so that a 301 doesn't influence it
   # -m 5 limit the query to 5 seconds.
   # -s Be silent about the download info.
   # -o output the results to /dev/null since we don't need them.
   # -w write out, report back the response_code
   echo "$domain" "$(curl -m 5 -s -L -o /dev/null https://"$domain" -w "%{response_code}\n")" ;
done
}

# run gen_response_code_list and format the results as a table.
gen_response_code_list | column -t
