Does Linkcheck honours http-equiv="refresh"?

Hi,

I'm using this to validate a Hugo website and I think linkcheck is not honouring the redirect. The homepage is requesting a redirect from / to /en. Linkcheck seems to detect that (completely new destination: http://localhost:1313/en/), but finds no links.

If I run /linkcheck :1313/en --debug, then it works as expected. Am I missing anything?

This is what I'm doing:

Running: /linkcheck :1313 --debug

Output is:


Reading URLs:
http://localhost:1313/
Crawl will start on the following URLs: [http://localhost:1313/]
Crawl will check pages only on URLs satisfying: {http://localhost:1313/**}
Crawl will skip links that match patterns: UrlSkipper<>
Crawl will check the following servers (and their robots.txt) first: {localhost:1313}

This is the content of curl localhost:1313:
