Scrapy follow all the links and get status

Question

I want to follow all the links of the website and get the status of every links like 404,200. I tried this:

from scrapy.contrib.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors import LinkExtractor

class someSpider(CrawlSpider):
  name = 'linkscrawl'
  item = []
  allowed_domains = ['mysite.com']
  start_urls = ['//mysite.com/']

  rules = (Rule (LinkExtractor(), callback="parse_obj", follow=True),
  )

  def parse_obj(self,response):
    item = response.url
    print(item)

I can see the links without status code on the console like:

mysite.com/navbar.html
mysite.com/home
mysite.com/aboutus.html
mysite.com/services1.html
mysite.com/services3.html
mysite.com/services5.html

but how to save in text file with status of all links?

I solved this as below. Hope this will help for anyone who needs.

import scrapy
from scrapy.contrib.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors import LinkExtractor

class LinkscrawlItem(scrapy.Item):
    # define the fields for your item here like:
    link = scrapy.Field()
    attr = scrapy.Field()

class someSpider(CrawlSpider):
  name = 'linkscrawl'
  item = []

  allowed_domains = ['mysite.com']
  start_urls = ['//www.mysite.com/']

  rules = (Rule (LinkExtractor(), callback="parse_obj", follow=True),
  )

  def parse_obj(self,response):
    item = LinkscrawlItem()
    item["link"] = str(response.url)+":"+str(response.status)
    filename = 'links.txt'
    with open(filename, 'a') as f:
      f.write('n'+str(response.url)+":"+str(response.status)+'n')
    self.log('Saved file %s' % filename)
