ValExtLinks: Added audit feature which tells the user if there are items in the exception list which are no longer present on the wiki or no longer return the given error code.
ValExtLinks: Updated sample files which go along with the last update to the script.
ValExtLinks: The messages about skipping URLs now show the wiki page's namespace. Added 504 to known response codes.
ValExtLinks: Val can now recognize bad YouTube links (no thanks to YouTube). Fixed some math errors. Added error 429 to known codes.
ValExtLinks: Changed --skip-archive-links argument to --check-archive-links because the default should be to skip them. Val now uploads all three formats of its report, and links to the RTF and TXT versions from the HTML one. Val can also now tell whether each upload succeeded. A report with no link issues will print a placeholder message in that section of the report. Fixed a bug where Val thought a link should be an interwiki link when it was really a link to an archive.org snapshot from said wiki.
Committing sample files to go along with last committed version of ValExtLinks.
ValExtLinks: The 'I Just Broke All The Diff-Gazing' Commit. Revised file structure of the project and added the MIT license. Revised all documentation. HTTP and curl codes are now wiki-formatted and hosted online. In Val itself, I made these changes: Added --timeout argument to change default URL query timeout of 10 seconds. Revised the report header to be easier to read. Less advice is printed directly in the report and more is online at the location linked to under the Legend section.
ValExtLinks now reads its exceptions list from a wiki page instead of a text file that only I can change.
Added option to not validate archive.org URLs, as those are unlikely to go bad, and we have an increasing number of them. Val now reports trivial redirect settings in Config section.
Fixed ValExtLinks' reading of Archive API replies. Fix for reading links that happen to have a shebang in them. Now knows how to handle NULL namespace links. Now prints elapsed time.
Committing my wiki link validation script, as it is reasonably mature now.
