Description Marjorie Barry-Vila 2022-01-11 19:54:58 UTC
Hi,

It would be nice to exclude certain urls from the check-url-quick.pl script such as urls which are searchable via a proxy.

Regards,
Marjorie

We agree!  There are URLs that always show up on our report that we know are fine, even though they returned an error in the cron job.  We'd like to enter a list of prefixes that do not need checked, or do not need to be reported. Either option would achieve a shorter list to review.

Adding a comment that this is still a very much desired enhancement. We have thousands of URLs for records behind a paywall and yes, we can delete those, but it takes so much time and my laptop is a poorly state laptop and strains with the size of the file. It is the other thousands or so URLs we would love to check. I get a report with about 200,000 lines, if we could exclude or skip a prefix, we would more efficiently be able to narrow this down to a few thousands, and that would be more manageable. 

Thanks, 
Dani
