How to iterate the content of a file in the shell script

Hi friends,
I am new to linux and shell scripting. I need some help from you guys.
Daily i need to check group of URLs and there https requests from browser. Recently i got some command line web browsers to know the HTTPS status of the URL like curl, wget etc... Now all of i need to do is write a shell script. I will put all my URLs in a text file and my shell script should read each URL one by one and log the status along with the corresponding URL.

Sample output:
./myscript.sh url.txt
1. site - 200 OK

Thanks in advance.

this will do the iteration

for i in `cat URL.txt`
do
foo $i
done

now all you have to do is write foo

How about to log the output into a file instead of standard output. How to name that log file with date and time stamp and also can i give the location where to save the log file? if so can you gimme the sample script? it would be verify helpful.
