Hello, great idea, but already implemented since 0.8, see (#786712 for the wishlist bug): :-)
man(1) duck:
...
FILES
debian/duck-overrides
Overrides-file in the Debian package source tree.
This files contains a list of URL regexs which
should not be reported as down/broken. This might
be useful in cases, where URLs are extracted from
old/outdated copyright-files or patches, which will
never ever be working, and which will then lead to
false positives. Please see an example in
/usr/share/doc/duck/examples.
So for your package, create a debian/duck-overrides, with the following
line:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
This will skip checking URLs matching this regex, which should be a
temporary workaround for your issue, but i know this is not a real
solution.
I currently work on #826694, which also suggests only trusting in
certificates installed by ca-certificates. So i think i will only
suggest HTTPS if the certificate presented by the server is "valid".
Bye,
Simon
