It looks like the remote location cannot be reached. Try "HEAD <address>" and see if you get the same problem. If it fails (it should be the case), try "lynx -dump -head http://localhost/". If lynx fails too, then this is not a problem with the link checker. Are you using a proxy? If it is the case, the link checker does not take that into account right now. I just added to call LWP::UserAgent's env_proxy() function so that checklink.pl now makes use of the *_proxy environment variables in version 2.84[1]. If this is your case, try "http_proxy='<your proxy>' ./checklink.pl <address>" and let me know how it goes. 1. http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/checklink.pl?rev=2.84&content-type=text/plain -- Hugo Haas - W3C mailto:hugo@w3.org - http://www.w3.org/People/Hugo/ - tel:+1-617-452-2092
