needs protocol and doesn't tell you if timeouts

I see 1 thing that can be named as issue:

1- when you try google.com it doesn't resolve or prompt anything, it only accepts http://host or http://host

I want to know when a host timeouts or isn't alive too :)

I believe first thing, adding protocol, would be hard as it's not so clear today if https or http should be added. Especially that the app already follows redirects, so it would further blur the result if one wants to be specific. For example, if you'll do curl -I http://blog.liox.eu, you'll get HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently, but echo -n "http://blog.liox.eu" | ./urlprobe would give you [200] L -1 : http://blog.liox.eu.

As for the other one, timeouts etc., it's as simple as just printing the error received during probing.
