Link checking with Delinkcious

Delinkcious is a link management system. Links – or, as they are known officially, uniform resource identifiers (URIs) – are really just a pointer to a particular resource. There could be two issues with links, such as the following:

• They may be broken (that is, they point to a non-existent resource).
• They may point to a bad resource (such as a phishing or virus-injecting site, hate speech, or child pornography).

Checking links and maintaining the status of each link is an important aspect of link management. Let's start by designing the way Delinkcious will perform link checking.
