[Feature] Follow "redirect permanent" #172

Closed redcatbear closed 1 month ago

redcatbear commented 1 year ago

Situation

When a server answers with HTTP status code 301 (redirect permanent) the link checker treats this as a broken link, even if the link the redirect points to a valid page that is served with 200 (OK).

Feature Request

It would be nice if the link checker follows redirects and evaluates the link health based on whether the redirect target is reachable with 200.

@redcatbear This relates to the underlying https://github.com/tcort/markdown-link-check library. I suggest you can check and submit a new feature request in that repository.

Hi @gaurav-nelson good point. Looks like someone had the same idea already tcort/markdown-link-check#151

So I would say this ticket here depends on that markdown-link-check issue.
