Rob Foley commented on FLAGON-296:
----------------------------------

This may be difficult/not plausible. A server might just return a 403 (not 
authorized), a 404 (pretend it doesn't exist), or ask for authorization. I 
don't know if we can detect the third. Moreover, it would likely be impossible 
to detect content that the user _is_ authorized to access, as we have no idea 
if the server checked some cookie (like a login/session token), unless we just 
assume that everything they see is something they can access.

> UserALE should be able to detect if there is Restricted Content
