checklink: error codes

Hi,

The checklink tool is very nice. However, I do not understand the cause of some
of the errors detected.
It would be good if the tool provided more information on what the errors mean
or can cause them.

This is especially true when reporting problems for which the link seems to
work.

For example this page
http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/hebrew.html

currently has 2 403 errors on the links to sil.org. However, executing the link
brings up the page just fine.
I tried variations of the URL, but I can't seem to eliminate the error. It
could be something at the server, but I am not sure what to tell the folks at
SIL to do about it, or if I should mention it to them.
What does forbidden mean and if it is so serious why does the page come up?
