Hmmm, a search for this topic did not exactly show anything on my line, so i ask here.
I just came across an interesting way to check if an URL that a submitter has entered into the URL submission box of the submission form does actually exist.
Meaning it doesn't just check for things like "http://" or any .something, it actually tests the entered URL once the "send" button is pressed.
Very useful against tipos and abusive play arounds i find.
trouble so far is that it is written in PHP, but looks like it's pretty much the same coding then in CGI - but looking through ad.cgi and links.cfg i could not find any section that i could indicate as doing the input check on the form when it's submitted.
Could anyone please point out to me where i find that piece of code to try and play around with my new piece????
