Check HTTP status code for a page on all DNS records

❗ This post is over eight years old. It may no longer be up to date. Opinions may have changed.
This is a small snippet using curl to check the status code of a given URL on all DNS records for a given domain. This site has a few A records in round robin mode, and sometimes the automatic deployment fails. Using this query I can check which server is the culprit and fix it manually.
The normal HEAD request output also shows all the headers the server sends and that is a pain to scroll through. This just shows me the HTTP status code, which is all I want.
dig +short A raymii.org | awk '{print "echo "$1"; curl -s -k -o /dev/null -I -w \"%{http_code}\" https://"$1"/s/blog/Burn_in_testing_for_Hypervisor_and_Storage_servers.html; echo; echo"}' | bash
Example output:
163.172.129.56
200
185.54.115.97
404
213.187.244.250
000
81.4.120.226
200
The first and last server are correct. The middle one with status code 000 is
offline and the 404 code is also not up to date.
For IPv6 and AAAA records, we add brackets:
dig +short AAAA raymii.org | awk '{print "echo "$1"; curl -6 -s -k -o /dev/null -I -w \"%{http_code}\" https://["$1"]/s/blog/Burn_in_testing_for_Hypervisor_and_Storage_servers.html; echo; echo"}' | bash
Example output:
2a00:d880:5:783::2
200
2a04:92c7:e:4d1::5436
200
