Now that www.d.o is running potato, I was able to switch to the new urlchecker. It has many advantages over the old one: - faster - gives better messages - handles more sites correctly - also checks ftp - written in python :)
Please take a look at http://www.debian.org/~treacy/urlchecker and help stamp out bad urls - everywhere in the site, but especially in areas you work on. Note that it marks directories missing a final '/' as a (301) Moved Permanently. It is a good idea to fix these in the source. Otherwise, browsers need to make two connections before getting to the right page. There are still a few loose ends in the script and it hasn't made it completely through the site yet. If you find a page that it doesn't handle correctly, please send me some mail. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
