Check for 404 on data entry #7

Whenever a new target URL is entered, it should be checked to make sure it's not a 404. This same 'helper application' might also usefully check the media type of the target resource and set that parameter accordingly. Look at the vary header in case content negotiation is enabled at target.

This is an early issue around the link checker application - 'overtaken by events' is such a helpful phrase.
