Dear checklink developers, in my WWW pages, i usually include links to the w3c validators, so I (or any reader) can easily validate, and re-validate, the respective page, as recommended for both the Markup Validator <http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#icon>, and the CSS validator (appearing after a successful validation). In contrast, the Link Checker does not recommend that useful link, and, even worse, it balks on it when checking links: > http://validator.w3.org/check/?uri=http://www...&outline= > What to do: The link is forbidden! This needs fixing. > Usual suspects: a missing index.html or Overview.html, > or a missing ACL. > Response status code: 403 I suggest that the Link Checker should - not balk on a link for re-validation (i. e., you should insert “allow from 128.30.52.13” and “allow from 128.30.52.49”, in the online Linkchecker’s Apache configuration), - recommend a link for re-validation, as the Markup, and CSS, validators do, - provide a suitable icon to adorn that link with (cf. attached draft). Thank you, Otto Stolz
