Ignore links to parent directories
Havvy opened this issue · comments
Links that traverse to the directory above the current directory should be ignored.
I wasn't too sure how to deal with this one. I know The Book contains a bunch of links which go outside the current directory (e.g. ../../std/fs/struct.File.html), but that doesn't actually point to anything until its deployed to the S3 bucket...
Should we just ignore relative links which go outside of the book directory? I feel like it wouldn't be a good link checker if we silently ignored possibly broken links.
What if you specified the deployment URL (for example https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ for the Rust Book), and any relative links that go outside the current directory would be verified by combining with that URL?
Or at least a boolean flag for ignoring them...
