# Random Internet Sampling

This repository holds a script for generating a random sample of the Internet.

Random URLs are generated and tested with HTTP requests, and the ones

which eventually return ```200 OK``` are printed to stdout.

## Setup

Build a virtualenv to run the script with. You will need:

* Python 3.4

* Some kind of distutils/setuptools install.

* Some version of virtualenv

Then run the script with ```./mkenv``` and use ```source env/bin/activate```

to use the virtualenv. After that, you can just run the script.

```

./random_internet.py -h # Display some help, showing more info.

```

### What If I'm Running Windows?

Please stop doing that.
