I also wondered why this regular expression script was in Watir's
source, since it is actually really easy to get status with Net::HTTP.
Anyway, here are 2 examples I just did which could be used. First one
returns response status code and response class. It will throw
exception if web server isn't running for example. Here's the script
itself:
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
def page_status url
url = URI.parse(url)
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.start do
http.request_get(url.path.empty? ? "/" : url.path) do |res|
return {:name => res.class, :code => res.code}
end
end
end
status = page_status("http://localhost";)
puts status[:name]
puts status[:code]
-----
Output would be something similar to:
Net::HTTPOK
200
But I doubt that you actually want to know the exact response code.
You probably just want to know if the page loaded correctly with
status 200, right? Anyway, then you could use something like this
instead:
def page_ok? url
url = URI.parse(url)
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
begin
http.start do
http.request_get(url.path.empty? ? "/" : url.path) do |res|
return false unless res.kind_of?(Net::HTTPSuccess) # or
Net::HTTPOK if you want to exclude 201, 202, 203, 204, 205 and 206
end
end
rescue => e
puts "Got error: #{e.inspect}"
return false
end
true
end
puts page_ok?("http://localhost";)
-----
Output would be true
It seems pretty easy and straightforward to me like most of things in
Ruby :) Anyway, maybe also Watir's own script should be changed to use
some similar solution? It would have to be modified a little of course
to work with https also so Watir could check itself if page was loaded
or not and throw error or something?
Anyway, hope that one of these solutions works for you.
You can of course read detailed information about Net::HTTP from Rdoc
at http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/index.html
