Check links on external websites?

Question

I need to check reciprocal links on external websites - are the best options webrat or capybara in a Rails app? Or something else?

Users will submit the URL of the page where the link back to us has been placed, so we don't need a crawl of the whole site, just the page that is submitted.

Then you don't need Webrat or Capybara (which are intended for full-stack Rails **testing**). — David J., Jul 23 '12 at 15:38

For typical HTML parsing, use Nokogiri.
