Hello,
I contribute mainly to Debian in the d-l10n-fr team. Discussing with
David Prévot in d-l10n-fr mailing list, I learned that there is a bug
in the broken link detection tool (frontend at
http://www-master.debian.org/build-logs/urlcheck/). The source code is
publicly available in a git repository
(http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=debwww/cron.git;a=tree;f=urlcheck;hb=HEAD).
The scripts are in python and perl.
There are several Debian packages doing the same work, so I wonder if
it would be better to use packaged software instead of repairing
Debian homemade scripts. Several softwares seem to fit the
requirements: htcheck, linklint, linkchecker and w3c-linkchecker.
Each one has pro and cons. This is a sum up based on the provided
documentation. Consider it as the quick tour, I could have missed
features or limitations:
htcheck:
- store the stats in a MySQL database
- parse HTML provided by HTTP (no HTTPS, FTP, etc.)
- execute with command line
- coded in C++
htcheck-php:
- provide a web frontend with apache, read the MySQL database
- coded in PHP
linklint:
- parse HTML provided by HTTP (no HHTPS, FTC, etc.)
- seems to support HTTP authentication
- execute with command line
- output as text or html, in one or several files. sum up on stdout
- coded in Perl
linkchecker:
- avail. protocols: HTTP/1.1, HTTPS, FTP, mailto:, news:, nntp:, Telnet
- authentication user/passwd for HTTP, FTP and Telnet
- execute with command line
- output as text, html, csv, ...
- coded in Python
w3c-linkchecker (the binary is checklink):
- authentication user/passwd
- protocol HTTP (perhaps FTP and NNTP ?)
- execute with command line or CGI script
- coded in Perl
David Prévot explained to me that PHP is not on the server and the
team doesn't plan to add it. So it's a no-go for htcheck-php. So there
is 2 ways:
- developping another frontend (htcheck-python for example)
- just considering the other tools.
What do you think about it?
Thank you
(I suscribed to the debian-www mailing so you don't need to cc me.)
