Thank you for overlooking and reporting it ;)

As a result, the next version of the link checker will most likely
contain some improvements regarding the output of when a link was not
actually checked, and GET requests will be made more eagerly in
recursive mode which reduces the number of unnecessary/throwaway HEAD
requests.  These improvements can already be tested with the link
checker's development version if you're interested:
