Allow shortened URLs #82

Open gpanders opened 4 years ago

gpanders commented 4 years ago

Right now, URLs such as

https://amzn.to/2Ve0TZG

will fail the build since it uses a permanent redirect. However, the redirected URL is much longer and uglier, so it is preferable to use the shortened URLs in these cases.

Good point. It probably makes sense to keep the current behavior for internal links, but I can see how external links can have this problem.

I'm not entirely sure how to know if a 301 is from a link shortener or just old content it'll redirects. I'd be happy to hear some ideas about that.

For now you can add a skip it todo match on the failing test to avoid this problem blocking your build
