Hi, yesterday I came across http://www.gimp.org/develop/ and clicked the link 'INSTALL'. It refers to https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/INSTALL, which doesn't exist anymore in this form. This raised a question: can the link checker also detect dead links that don't result in an HTTP error but in simply nothing or unreadable garbage?
Well in this case, the URL you gave is actually a 404 error even though it does not show in the browser (at least in my Firefox, it shows as just a blank page). You can see it is a 404 by doing a wget for instance. Thus in the report generated with the program linkchecker, this URL was listed. In this specific case though, it would actually have listed it as a warning for being 0 byte even if there had been no error. I'll attach the list of errors and warnings I generated a few days ago (only Sven will get it, since the list will get rid of the attachment, as usual). That's quite some work to be done for someone with a little time, and a few grep or sed commands. :-) Jehan
