It warns about HTTP redirects, including directory - redirects. - </p> - - <p> - It can check recursively a part of a Web site. - </p> - - <p> - There is a command line version and a CGI version. They both - support <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt">HTTP basic - authentication</a>. This is achieved in the CGI version - by passing through the authorization information from the user browser - to the site tested. - </p> - - <h2><a name="online" id="online">Use it online</a></h2> - - <p> - There is an - <a href="<!--#echo var="relroot" -->checklink">online version</a> - of the link checker. - </p> - - <p> - The number of documents that can be checked recursively is limited - and there is a delay between each document checked to avoid abuses. - </p> - - <h2><a name="install" id="install">Install it locally</a></h2> - - <p> - The link checker is written in Perl. It is one single file, but it - requires some CPAN modules. - </p> - - <p>In order to install it:</p> - - <ol> - <li> - Install <a href="http://www.perl.com/">Perl</a>. - </li> - <li> - You will need the following <a href="http://www.cpan.org/">CPAN</a> - distributions, as well as the distributions they possibly depend on. - Depending on your Perl version, you might already have some of - these installed. For an introduction to installing Perl modules, - see <a href="http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_Perl_modules">The CPAN FAQ</a>. - <ul> - <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/">libwww-perl</a> (version 5.60 or newer if you want HTTP/1.1 with <code>Keep-Alive</code>)</li> - <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-Parser/">HTML-Parser</a> (version 3.00 or newer)</li> - <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI.pm/">CGI.pm</a></li> - <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/URI/">URI</a></li> - <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Time-HiRes/">Time-HiRes</a></li> - <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Config-General/">Config-General</a> (version 2.06 or newer)</li> - <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/TermReadKey/">TermReadKey</a> (optional but recommended for all platforms; required for password input in command line mode for systems that don't have the <code>stty</code> command, eg. Windows)</li> - </ul> - </li> - <li> - Download the link checker from - <a href="http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/checklink.pl">CVS</a>. - </li> - <li> - Download the configuration file from - <a href="http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/htdocs/config/checklink.conf">CVS</a> - and install it to <code>/etc/w3c/checklink.conf</code> or set the - <code>W3C_CHECKLINK_CFG</code> environment variable to the location - where you installed it. - </li> - </ol> - - <p> - Calling <code>checklink.pl</code> without any arguments runs the - CGI version, and running <code>checklink.pl --help</code> shows how to - use the command line version. - </p> - - <p> - If you want to enable the authentication capabilities with Apache, - have a look at - <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/1999JulSep/0140.html">Steven Drake's hack</a>. - </p> - - <h2><a name="csb" id="csb">Comments, suggestions and bugs</a></h2> - - <p> - The current version has proven to be stable. It could however be - improved, see the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?product=LinkChecker&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED">list of open enhancement ideas and bugs</a> for details. - </p> - - <p> - Please send comments, suggestions and bugs about the link checker - to the <a href="mailto:www-validator@w3.org?subject=checklink%3A%20">www-validator mailing list</a> - (<a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/">archives</a>), - with 'checklink' in the subject. - </p> - -<!--#include virtual="../footer.html" --> - </body> -</html> |
