# http-status-checker
Check HTTP status codes for URLs. Supports bulk checking, redirects, and SSL verification.
## Usage
```
Check status of [URL]
Check multiple URLs: [list URLs]

- **Redirect chain** — Follows all redirects and shows the full chain
- **SSL check** — Shows SSL certificate expiry, issuer, validity
- **Bulk** — Check up to 100 URLs from a text file
## Output
```
URL: https://example.com

weaknesses
~procedure section missing: no numbered steps, inputs/outputs undefined, unclear how to invoke bulk mode or handle file format
~edge cases barely touched: no mention of timeout behavior, http errors (4xx/5xx), malformed urls, file size limits, or ssl verification failures
~trigger phrases are generic and lack specificity (e.g. 'check status of' could match anything)
