Automatically fix http:// to https:// redirects

Open stevenvh17 opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

When checking broken bookmarks I have a lot of them where the only change is from http:// to https://, with the remainder of the URI/URL exactly the same. It would be nice to have an option to fix all of these automagically. Thanks

Hi,

there is already a feature to fix all redirects ("warnings" in Bookmarks Organizer), not only HTTP->HTTPS. Is there an use case for fixing HTTP->HTTPS redirects but not all the other redirects?

Some redirects are false positives, like adding a session token, redirecting to a login page when logged out, etc. HTTP to HTTPS is a special case.

@cadeyrn There absolutely is! Dozens of my bookmarks require logging in and redirect to some landing page when not, the addon would break all of the links if I'd allow "correcting" all redirects. Also the Firefox keyword search breaks for at least Wikipedia and srrdb.com.

I humbly ask you to implement this feature.

Additional issues:

  • On some forums I redirect to the last page of a thread by using the page-99 URL string (or similar). This is removed by bookmarks-organizer.
  • Deleted pages commonly redirect to the front page, "correcting" the links with the addon would cause you to loose all bookmarked pages, most of which have likely been backed up by archive.org.

I copy that. I have also the same problem and would like to have that feature implemented.
