What is the most efficient way to check if an URL is valid/exists? [duplicate]

Question

I'm looking for the fastest method to retrieve whether or not an URL exists. I'd like to do the test on a list of URLs.

Thanks for your help

import httplib c = httplib.HTTPConnection('www.stackoverflow.com') c.request("HEAD", '') if c.getresponse().status == 301: print('Good news. Website is valid')
