Detect and mitigate Cloudflare blocking on link testing#1253
Merged
Conversation
…lare This commit attempts to resolve link tests failing due to blocking by Cloudflare. If a link check fails with 403 then the request is tried again after a delay, and if it still fails with 403 the response is interrogated to see if it has come from Cloudflare. If so, a warning is printed and the test for that link is allowed to pass.
