Re: A way to find dead links for external pages

[Paul Uszak]

What security issues does this present?

Remember, the link targets have been selected by the wiki authors so they
are desirable links rather than spam.  I can't quite see a threat model if
all you're doing is reporting a HTTP status code.  Isn't this what search
engines do by default?

Re: Where are "Set" values stored?

[Juan Pablo Santos Rodríguez]

Hi Foster,

that information is stored at WikiPage level, as an attribute; you can
reach it through org.apache.wiki.WikiPage#getAttribute( String ) method.
You can see an example of use on the SpamFilter, specifically on the
refreshBlacklists method (take a look first to the javadocs class to see
what it is looking for).


HTH,
