You could pull all http, mailto, ftp links that are submitted into a table,
then run a scheduled task to:
1. (4.X) use cfx_http to get the response header that is returned.
2. (4.5) use cfhttp to "get" the "CFHTTP.StatusCode"
Beware- both techniques have returned errors on certain urls, which stops
the template from processing any more urls. The cfhttp tag has a timeout
option but doesn't always seem to catch server problems.
I have a java cfx tag that is in beta form that seems to by-pass some of the
above problems.
If interested in experimenting with the tag, email me off-list and I'll send
it to you.

Subject: CFHTTP Link Checker?
Is there any way to check for the validity of HTML links by using Cold
Fusion. If so, any resources to explain how would be of great help.
TIA.
