Hello,
I think a bug has crept into the link checker recently.
I used to be able to recursively check my pages without any
problems. Now, the link checker gets lost in the recursion -
it jumps to pages that are not on my site (but that I link to),
and starts checking them! For example, I have a link on each of
my pages to the w3c validator, and the link checker starts
checking the validator results for broken links...
I think the correct behavior should be that the link checker
only checks pages which are in the same domain as the original request.
I first noticed the problem a month or more ago, and I am surprised that
it has not been fixed already, which is why I am writing to this address.
Note that I was checking the site http://peter-a-andrews.com, with
summary only, and recursive turned on. Thanks in advance for any
help you can give. Please let me know if/when it will be fixed,
what I may be doing wrong, or why my expectations of the link checker's
behavior are incorrect.
-Peter Andrews
