LinkScanner is a CakePHP plugin for recursively scanning links: starting from a full base url, it performs GET requests, checks the status codes, inspects the response bodies and, if it finds other links, it continues recursively scanning.
Did you like this plugin? Its development requires a lot of time for me. Please consider the possibility of making a donation: even a coffee is enough! Thank you.
