You can also use the "responseMessage" property of the connection to get the same kind of information.

def getUrlResponse(urlString) {
def conn = new URL(urlString).openConnection()
"$urlString : ${conn?.responseCode} : ${conn?.responseMessage}"
}

println getUrlResponse("http://google.com")
// prints http://google.com : 200 : OK

println getUrlResponse("http://google.com/foo")

You've shown one of the downsides of groovy - poor static analysis.
You aren't using urlString within your checkURL method.

urlString.toURL() gives you the URL

URLConnection does not have a getResponseCode() so do you need to explicitly create a HttpURLConnection or does groovy/java automatically know because of the http:// prefix in the URL? In which case why do you have the HttpURLConnection cast in there?
