When I try to run the link checker directly on the happyholly.co.uk page, I get an analysis with 404 Not Found, too. Yet, using most browsers, that page is available, and using, on Firefox, Tamper Data to remove all HTTP headers except Host, I still get to the page (so this can't be the effect of some User-Agent sniffing or anything like that). But using Lynx 2.8.7rel.1, I get this: % lynx -mime_header http://happyholly.co.uk/FanFiction/2011/10/30/a-matter-of-opinion/ HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.16 X-Pingback: http://happyholly.co.uk/xmlrpc.php Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Pragma: no-cache Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=701fcd2ad965a64219f9fde57d29be2a; path=/ Last-Modified: Wed, 05 Sep 2012 05:22:08 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Server: - Web acceleration by http://www.unixy.net/varnish X-Cacheable: YES Content-Length: 6160 Accept-Ranges: bytes Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2012 05:22:08 GMT X-Varnish: 1570843335 Via: 1.1 varnish Connection: close age: 0 X-Cache: MISS followed by an HTML document containing the explanation "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria". And on Lynx, accessing the page http://shadowwalker.info/archives_a.html the link corresponding to that URL causes a 404 error too. So I'm puzzled. What is that Lynx and the Link Checker do the same way, and differently from common browsers, that causes this. I can see that the X-Pingback address is different from what I get otherwise, namely http://happyholly.co.uk/FanFiction/xmlrpc.php but I don't see how that would relate. Yucca
