Script to get the HTTP status code of a list of urls?

I have a list of URLS that I need to check, to see if they still work or not. I would like to write a bash script that does that for me.

I only need the returned HTT

wget --spider -S "http://url/to/be/checked" 2>&1 | grep "HTTP/" | awk '{print $2}'

prints only the status code for you
