All I know is I get burnt every time e.g., the translation of a built in page name changes, so linking to Rtd> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ --> 200 OK gives little more confidence than linking to Rtd> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page --> 200 OK
Let's see how the real professionals do it $ HEAD -PdS www.google.com HEAD http://www.google.com --> 302 Found HEAD http://www.google.com.tw/ --> 200 OK Oops. Well how about $ HEAD -PSd www.whitehouse.gov HEAD http://www.whitehouse.gov --> 200 OK See. The pros don't tangle one up with kiddie links. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
