Hi

I am wanting to write a web crawler that detects if a webpage contains
any streaming video content. I'm looking for ideas as how to do this.

I have written the crawler which works fine but I need to find a way
to find out if the page contains any video content.

I could look at the HTML of the page and work out if there is a player
embedded but this seems a bit clunky. Does any one have any other
ideas?

Is there a way to look at the requests a website makes using an
HTTPHandler?

Any help would be great, thanks.
