Any CLI to validate URL? [closed]

Question

I got a bunch of URLs (more than 1,000) and I am wondering if there is any CLI script to validate URL for http schema?

If you google for something like "perl validate url" you will get there...
Thanks. I got this stackoverflow.com/questions/2599047/… and it works as expected.
What do you mean by URL? Are you trying to see if it's well-formed according to RFC1738? Do you want heuristics to detect unencoded space and extra final punctuation? Do you want to know whether the URL points to a reachable web page?

You can use Perl's Regexp::Common::URI::http. From the CPAN documentation:

use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

while (<>) {
    /$RE{URI}{HTTP}/       and  print "Contains an HTTP URI.\n";
}

Something like egrep "^https?:\/\/" yourlistofurls or do you want to check that that url points to valid http content, too?
