Hi Matt:

I think the main takeaway is that this particular task 'as is' isn't a great 
fit for your needs.
But it is certainly possible to accomplish everything you state with a curation 
task,
(checking whole collections, etc) and the LinkChecker code was built to be 
extended.

I'd open a JIRA ticket with a specification of how you would like a link 
checker to behave differently
than what you find here. Example language:

(1) Add support for 'https' URL checking
(2) When checking collections, stop at the first bad URL,

etc

Thanks,

Richard R.

Yet when I tested this by changing the links to https for some other items it 
still failed.  Also it is stopping at one item and not showing us so we do not 
know if it is checking just one thing, or the whole collection.

I just tested on with an http and got a successful result:



The task was completed successfully.

Does that mean we need to check every item separately?  We were hoping to check 
full collections at one go.

Hi Matt:

A very cursory glance at the code suggests that it really is happy only with 
'http' not 'https' URLs.
Can you restrict your tests to the former and confirm?

Thanks,

Richard R

(BTW, it would be simple to extend the behavior to SSL use cases)

Hello,

Earlier in the week I had been asking about the link checker, as we ran it but 
were getting the following result:


The task was completed successfully.

STATUS: Fail, RESULT: Item: 123456789/473 - 
https://repository.bridgeport.edu/xmlui/handle/123456789/473 = 0 - FAILED


Now we are wondering if we have it setup properly or are simply using it 
incorrectly.  The documentation on how to use the curation tools is less clear 
on how to make everything work than we would like.  Is there a more in depth 
resource that explains how to configure and use the curation tools?  Or can 
someone provide a primer to make sure we have done everything correctly?  We 
are currently using DSpace 1.8, but looking to upgrade at the end of the 
semester when classes finish.  Any help is appreciated.
