Hi

I have here a VBA macro which checks a server status of an URL, placed in a cell (here C2). How could this macro be adjusted to test all urls in the given column?

The code is:

Code:
Private Changing As Boolean

Private Sub RedirectChecker(ByVal url As String)
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    Set sh = ActiveSheet
    
    Dim http As New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
    http.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_UserAgentString) = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)"
    http.Option(WinHttpRequestOption_EnableRedirects) = False
    
    '' Clear existing info
    sh.Cells(3, 3).Formula = ""
    sh.Cells(4, 3).Formula = ""
    DoEvents
    
    '' Add protocol if missing
    If (InStr(url, "://") = 0) Then
        url = "http://" & url
    End If
    
    '' Launch the HTTP request
    http.Open "GET", url
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        '' Handle URL formatting errors
        sh.Cells(3, 3).Formula = Trim(Err.Description)
        Exit Sub
    End If
    http.Send
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then
        '' Handle HTTP errors
        sh.Cells(3, 3).Formula = Trim(Err.Description)
        Exit Sub
    End If
    '' Show HTTP response info
    sh.Cells(3, 3).Formula = http.Status & " " & http.StatusText
    sh.Cells(4, 3).Formula = http.GetResponseHeader("Location")
End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Changing Then Exit Sub
    Changing = True
    Dim Name As String
    On Error Resume Next
    Name = Target.Name.Name
    If Name = "URL" Then
        RedirectChecker Target.Value
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    Changing = False
End Sub

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
You have two macros. One of which is a worksheet_change event macro that calls the other macro and supplies the URL string to the second macro. You could make a list of the urls you want to check and use a loop in the worksheet_change macro to pass the different urls to the web query macro.
