Disable binary files download during link checking #5

Currently, Linkspector would download the files if the link point to a PDF file or binary. It should instead only check if the link is valid and not download the file.

Hi @gaurav-nelson I appreciate all of the effort you put into verifying markdown links. Quick question:

It should instead only check if the link is valid and not download the file.

It is common to link to PDFs for specifications and reference material. Does valid also include checking that the link is live and responding to requests? It is helpful to know if a PDF (or other asset) isn't available anymore and responding with a 404.

Thank you @edwarddavidbaker Yes, it should check if the link is alive and not 404.
