You can use curl for checking if the specific url exists or not for example when i try to hit angularjs existing url

$ curl -I https://github.com/angular/angularjs.org/tree/master/src
**HTTP/1.1 200 OK**
Server: GitHub.com

When I hit on a wrong URL

$ curl -I https://github.com/angular/angularjs.org/tree/master/abcd
**HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found**
Server: GitHub.com
