Description

When fetching a URL that the requesting IP address is not authorized to retrieve, some Web sites respond with HTTP success code accompanied by an HTML page that is really a login page or error page, rather than with an HTTP error code. A login page checker is a general interface for checking the contents of a URL and determine if it is a login page rather than the intended content.
