[opencms-dev] Validating links even for published pages

[Jonathan Woods]

I guess you could use wget (available for many platforms including Linux and
Windows) to crawl the whole site and report 404s.

Subject: [opencms-dev] Validating links even for published pages

Hi List,

does anyone know a way to check the links for the complete site? The builtin
link checker only checks unpublished content.

The problem with the default behavior is: If I have a page that links to
another one and then move the link target, I will suddently have a corrupted
link in a page that has not been updated. And with 100s of files it's hard
to detect, where I would have to update links, after moving one file around.


Any ideas?

thank you

P.S. My only idea is to *touch* everything and check the links after that,
but that's not very elegant and also touch will change the modification
date, which is a bad thing for me. To go along with this approach, I would
have to implement a small JSP that does touches every file without updating
the modification date.
