Feature Request - log redirects to assist in correcting old urls

Open pdwalker opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

I'd like to see a feature where I could easily log all urls that are redirects to another url.

The use case for this is when you want to check your site for any urls that are now permanently located elsewhere. If we can identify these links easily we can go and correct them in the site rather than force the users to handle a time consuming redirect.

At the moment, we can find this information by doing verbose logging and then searching for all instances of "Redirected to". Workable, but not as convenient as it could be.

I can see from https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker/issues/384 that you originally logged this condition as a warning but pulled the feature for the reasons given

Would it possible to add a switch to allow us to treat it as a warning (default off)? Or have some other way to just identify these redirections that don't involve verbose logging?

Thanks in advance for your consideration.
