Both versions had a mysql database; the standalone version was developed on netbeans using java and the web version using HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript.
• Forager: web application to display all broken links in a chosen domain. This used the cURL function of PHP to check for the inaccessible links on a given page. The application was hosted on a wamp server and could send mails locally after making modifications on the PHP.ini file of the server.
