Important notes on the new link checker
With the 5.2.2 release, a new link checking module has been integrated into Typo3. Some links are currently still recognized as errors, even though they still work in the browser.
The new "Check Links" module, which replaces the link validator, is designed to help you manage broken links.
Important: There are currently a number of links that are marked as "Broken Link", although they work when called up in your own browser. If a link works, you can currently ignore its "broken link" marking.
The following unexpected errors are known and are currently being analyzed:
- "Timeout: The remote server possibly took too long to answer."
- "HTTP status code=502."
- "Accessing this address is not allowed (403)"
- "Service Unavailable (503)"
- "An error was encountered while creating the response"
These errors can occur for various reasons, including issues with the linked website itself. A browser always sends data when a website is called up. Unlike a standard browser, the easyWeb link checker sends different data when accessing websites. This can cause some websites to behave differently when accessed by easyWeb, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Additionally, links from deleted content elements (often from link lists) are found as "broken links". This is a known error and is expected to be fixed automatically at the end of July.
