Is this possible and how? Difficult - you made a request, and the webserver returned a response. Whether or not the webserver maps your request to a specific file - or if it even has any concept of a file - is it's own internal matter. Having said that, you could try the Content-Location header, and the 3xx status codes. >I need to write a small link-checker (Intranet), which reads in all >links within a file and then looks if they're broken and collects some >information.

I really think this already exists. You should probably search a bit harder.
