How to check what all URLs are available on a particular server?

On a machine, there is a HTTP server running at a particular port. I know some of the pages that are accessible:

http://myothermachine.tx:6566/info
http://myothermachine.tx:6566/status

etc.

The pages that are not accessible will result in 404's.

Is there a way I can find out what all URIs do not result in 404's?

No, there is no standard way to do this. There exists no 'universal query' which asks for the machine to respond with a list of all accessible URLs.

However, a couple of things you could try:

  • Check the machine's documentroot. See what files exist.
  • Check the webserver configuration. See what mappings exist.
  • Check what applications are deployed on the machine.
  • Check if there is a robots.txt
  • Check for links to the machine on other sites
  • Use a search engine, of the machine is indexed
  • Brute-force the machine, trying every possible combination. Not very friendly...
