Inspired by Wikimedia and the Internet Archive fixing broken links on Wikipedia.

By default riplink will only print links to pages that return something other than an HTTP 2XX.
If we specify the -verbose flag it will print all links:
$ riplink -url https://google.com -verbose
https://www.google.com/intl/en/options/ 200
https://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi 200
https://google.com/intl/en/policies/terms/ 200
https://google.com/intl/en/ads/ 200
https://google.com/services/ 200
...
The -depth flag can be used to recurse into discovered links:
# Follow links up to 3 pages deep
$ riplink -url https://google.com -depth 3
...

# Avoid links that aren't on google.com
$ riplink -url https://google.com -same-domain
...

# Only output links that return HTTP 302
$ riplink -url https://google.com -http-code 302
