Find out if the URL is violated?

Question

I have a url that the video should contain:

http: //img.epictv.compodcasts/Surf_Report_Tahiti_Take_2_podcast.mp4

But it seems to be broken (resource unavailable). Is it possible to find out that it is broken programmatically?

Answer 1

If you want to check the url just do a HEAD request using NSURLConnection .

Answer 2

The first thing I think about checking the URL was thinking that NSURLConnection could do it too (and virtually any ping process should be based on NSURLConnection). You can use this open-source for this.

Hope this answer satisfies you.
