Hi

Maybe this is not a bug, but anyway. I downloaded
LinkChecker 1.6.2. I followed the instructions on howto
install on a LINUX system. The command "python
setup.py install" bailed out with a not of missing
module "distutils.core". I then then inspected the python
module and found that its need several modules named
distutils.*. Then I searched the system for any module
with a leading name of "distutils". Nothing was found.

Is i a missing modules in the distribution?

Best regards

I seeing errors in version 1.8.19 when urls contain a space
character. The referring page has this correctly quoted as
%20, but linkchecker is sending a single space character in
its http request.

line 241 of HttpUrlData.py contains a comment:

quote parts before submit

but it uses map in a way that leaves self.urlparts
unchanged. (map returns a new list - it does not mutate
the parameter)

patch attached

Checking a Site which using heavily the apache mod_rewrite module I
have found the following:

That result is definitivly wrong, since the effective URL exists.
Looking at the responsible code in HttpUrlData.py I think I found
an TAB-Allignment-Error:

The Block (starting line 243)
# check url warnings
effectiveurl = urlparse.urlunsplit(self.urlparts)
if self.url != effectiveurl:
self.setWarning(i18n._("Effective URL %s")
% effectiveurl)
self.url = effectiveurl
# check response
self.checkResponse(response)

is outside the while-loop - causing the line
self.url = effectiveurl
to be to be of no effect.

Yust indenting the block one TAB right solved the problem.

Thank you for your nice Program, I like it very much. Hope my hint
is valueable for you - let me know

The setup.py builds a wrong ssl.so on my system
(SuSE Linux 6.4, Python 1.5.2, OpenSSL 0.9.4)

It seems that the libssl and libcrypto are not included correctly.

I fixed it by linking the ssl.so manually with the following command:

gcc -shared -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto ssl.o -o build/platlib/ssl.so

In /usr/local/ssl/lib are libssl.a and libcrypto.a, no shared object files.

Trying to link them against the .so files results in undefined symbols from python.

I'm not a pyhton guru and don't have much knowledge about distutil, so i cannot really help more on this.

One of the links in an HTML doc I was checking is
http://users.compaqnet.be/avalon/

Their server is misconfigured, such that trying to
get /robots.txt
results in a series of redirects that eventually become
recursive:

A request for /robots.txt results in a 302 with
Location: http://www.compaqnet.be/index.html?
l1=search&a=error404&error=http://users.compaqnet.be/r

A request for /index.html?
l1=search&a=error404&error=http://users.compaqnet.be/i

results in a 302 with
Location: http://www.compaqnet.be/index.html?
l1=search&a=error404&error=http://users.compaqnet.be/i
ndex.html
(same as before).

Somehow, this leads to httplib thinking that it is dealing
with this
string as a host and port:
'www.belgacom.netindex.html?
l1=search&a=error404&error=http:'

I had to put a print into HTTPConnection._set_hostport
() to see this.

The traceback that Linkchecker produces reveals the
trouble
that httplib has in trying to parse that string.

I am seeing a problem when checking a site that contains:

1. An html page that contains a link to a second url
2. The second url responds with a 302 redirect back to the
   first page.

linkchecker fetches both urls continuously until its recursion
limit is reached.

debug output attached. I will keep these pages available
for a while, but please dont hammer that server harder
than necessary.

The 'intern' / 'extern' matching appears to operate on
the 'URL' rather than 'Real URL' (after base has been
applied). This makes it impossible to properly check a
site that makes use of BASE HREF without also spidering
the rest of the internet.

You need to print "Content-type: text/html" as the
first thing in lc.cgi. As it is now, when there is an
error, the error message is sent before the
Content-type, and the Apache server will not transmit
the page.

It's best to always print the Content-type as early as
possible.

Thanks,

Charles Hall

When i try to kill a running linkchecker (by using Ctrl-C for example) it doesn't disappear correctly.

It says "Stopped checking..." but stands there for a couple of seconds. It eventually really stops then.

This seems to be related to the number of threads that are running (the more threads the longer you wait).

key_handle in DNS\winreg.py.

handle_key is found on lines 65, 69, 84 and 96 of
DNS\winreg.py

The program will execute once these are changed. Can
we patch this? DNS/Base.py distributed with
linkchecker appears different than the latest version
in CVS for PyDNS at SourceForge.

Thanks,
Drew

The URL "http://www2.nestle-
baby.com.tw/member/member5.asp" is a form's action
url. It's a valid link, but what's the "'Name or service not
known'"'s mean? I don't understand?! Is it a bug?

Some of the HTML files I checked with linkchecker contain comments
like the following

<!--
foo
bar
-->

Linkchecker does not handle this type of comments correctly since it
seems to assume that all comments are just single line comments. In
the example above all messages concerning lines following the block comment contain line numbers that differ by 3 from the correct line
number.

I think the "internal page anchor" ( such as #top or

somename ) should not be an error even the anchor is

not existed. Because the browser will jump to the top of
the page if the named anchor not exist by default.

Windows is listed as a supported OS for this project,
but there are no binaries available.
Windows does not include any compilers, and anyone
using ActivePython is given the error "Python was built
with version 6 of Visual Studio, and extensions need to
be built with the same version of the compiler, but it
isn't installed.".
This seems to indicate that the only way to install
LinkChecker (aside from shelling out >$1K) is to build
Python with MinGW, or find a binary built that way
(suboptimal).

Great app, very useful, but I've found that it
doesn't ignore links in commented out sections of
html. Unfortunately I've taken over the maintenance
of a reasonable-size site, where some things were
commetned out, and linkchecker reports false
positives on broken links :)
Thanks

It appears linkchecker doesn't understand the special character syntax that browsers do. It shows documents that have amprsands in their names as bad links after translating them to &amp;

hi,

take a deep breath, and bear with me...

if i have the following (valid and weblinted) html:

---8<---
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

<head>
<title>named anchor id test</title>
</head>

<body>

<p><a href="#indexa">A</a></p>

<ol>
<li id="indexa">one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
</ol>

</body>

</html>
--->8---

linkchecker 1.8.15 complains: warning anchor #indexa
not found

(it can't find the anchor named "indexa".)

the html4 spec has this[1] to say about anchor names
(<a name="">):

---8<---
This attribute names the current anchor so that it may
be the
destination of another link. The value of this
attribute must be a
unique anchor name. The scope of this name is the
current document.

*** Note that this attribute shares the same name space
as the id
attribute. ***
--->8---

(emphasis mine.)

so i think the above should not cause a warning.
hope that helps,

I have the following code on one of my pages
(http://www.majid.info/radio/):
<applet code=panoapplet script language="JavaScript"
codebase="http://www.majid.info/images/"
height=266
name=FPViewer1 width=400
archive="panoapplet.jar">
<param name=file
value="http://www.majid.info/images/louvre.ivr">
<param name="autoSpin" value="-50">
</applet>

And linkchecker reports an error because it tries to
load http://www.majid.info/radio/panoapplet.jar instead
of codebase + archive =
http://www.majid.info/images/panoapplet.jar

There seems to be some minimal support for codebase in
UrlData.py, but not as far as prepending it
intelligently to the URL the way <A BASE> is handled.

There are some urls on a site I'm checking that
redirect to some https urls. When linkchecker tries to
follow these redirections, it tries to connect to port
80 instead of 443.
The error I get is:

Error: Attempted connect to ('152.2.46.28', 80)
timed out.

Notice how the port in the error message is 80.

To duplicate this problem, you could create a simple
cgi script like this:

!/bin/sh

echo "Location: https://www-s3.ais.unc.edu/campus_dir/"
echo

and link to it from a static html page. Then run
linkchecker on the html page.

The strange thing is that some other links that
redirect to https urls (on other hosts) don't exhibit
this problem.

When checking a site with Amazon.com links, reports
timeout errors. Apparently Amazon just hangs when a
HEAD request to a URL with an affiliate code is
submitted, such as
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393320928/fazalmajidswe-20
I don't know if this normal Amazon.com behavior or if
this is just a temporary situation.
A GET request works perfectly.

There is apparently some support for falling back from
HEAD to GET if an error code such as a 405 is
encountered, but not if a timeout is encountered.

There should be an option to use GET always instead of
HEAD (perhaps with the use of the If-Modified-Since
header, although that also makes Amazon hang)

I first encountered this issue when testing the new
1.8.7 release, but it may have been lurking for longer
than that.
