Check HTTP status codes on file links

Open mouse-reeve opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

When an edition has a link out to a copy of the book, it would be great to automatically check that the link isn't returning a 404 or error type status code. I think this can be a HEAD request. I'm not sure when the best time to do it is.

Hello! So I've came up with a python class to check for link status, however, I can't seem to locate where to add this class? Can you point me to where the link requests are being handled? Thanks.

I think you're looking for the django view for adding links: https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/bookwyrm/views/books/links.py#L68. Does that help clarify?

Hi @m1del, do you still work on a solution? While working on issue #1850 and #1899, I also got the idea how to include a solution to this issue. If you want, I can show you my approach.
