<TITLE>Configuration for check_links extension</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We're using the check_links extension, but on some of the pages we monitor with it, we have hundreds of links that are to servlet on our own site, sometimes the same servlet over and over, with a different GET parameter. This unnecessarily loads our server.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What we'd REALLY like to do is only check offsite links, so my questions are two-fold:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. What's the right way to add a configuration parameter? I tried whacking on a local copy of the extension, copying the style of the single configuration parameter that is in there. Didn't work, and I didn't want to break it further.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. What's the best way to ignore "local" links? I tried to examine the url variable, looking for '</FONT><A HREF="https:"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">https:</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">' before it got processed. Our local servlets show up in anchor tags without the protocol (<a href="/ADC/AirportInfo?ap=KBWI">, for example). I couldn't get this to work.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.</FONT>
</P>
