Ruby script that tests if domains are up and resolving correctly.

checker.rb

require 'net/http'

pages = %w(  www.ericjgruber.com
			www.lawrencecoders.com
			www.americanacollectors.com
			www.witchesbecryin.com
		  )

threads = []

for page in pages
	threads << Thread.new(page) { |myPage|

	h = Net::HTTP.new(myPage, 80)
	puts "Fetching: #{myPage}"
	resp, data = h.get('/', nil)
	puts "Got #{myPage}: #{resp.message}"
	}
end

threads.each { |aThread| aThread.join }

Something like this?

require 'net/http'

pages = %w(
  www.ericjgruber.com
  www.lawrencecoders.com
  www.americanacollectors.com
  www.bitchesbecryin.com
)

threads = []

pages.each do |page|
  threads << Thread.new(page) do
    puts "Fetching #{page}"
    begin
      Net::HTTP.get_response(page, '/')
      puts "Successfully connected to #{page}"
    rescue SocketError
      puts "Unable to connect to #{page}"
    end
  end
end

threads.each { |thread| thread.join }

That works great, thanks!

Hey, where did my for loop go? :)
