--------------------------------
Only to leave a note: On hacking Friday, with Robert Scholte, during JCrete
conference I started to work on this issue.
> followLinks fix to get redirect target breaks for certain sites
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MJAVADOC-607
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-607
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1, 3.1.0
> Reporter: Michiel Hendriks
> Priority: Major
> Labels: up-for-grabs
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The followLinks fix from MJAVADOC-427 breaks links which are valid, but do
> not produce a 200 or 3xx HTTP response on the base URL.
> For example to link to javadoc hosted by javadoc.io you would use the link:
> [https://static.javadoc.io/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/3.1.0]
> As this is hosted on S3 it returns a 403, but the package-list does given a
> 200:
> [https://static.javadoc.io/org.apache.maven.plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/3.1.0/package-list]
> With version 3.0.0 these links work correctly.
>
> It might be better to check for redirect targets by including the
> /package-list part in the URL to test.
