Thanks! ...

Typical structure would be like a URL query string but with customizable separators so I can use '&' for xhtml links or '&' otherwise.

I'm teaching myself some basic scraping and I've found that sometimes the URL's that I feed into my code return 404, which gums up all the rest of my code. So I need a test at the top of the code to check if the URL returns 404 or not. This would seem like a pretty straightfoward task, but Google's not giving me any answers. I worry I...
