Feature or Bugfix

  • Bugfix

Purpose

  • Server-issued HTTP redirects may refer the linkcheck client to URLs that the operator has configured as ignored using the linkcheck_ignore config setting. This changeset handles those redirections by returning an ignore result immediately, without following the redirect.

Detail

  • Override the requests.Session.get_redirect_target method so that we can raise a (Sphinx-internal) exception if we encounter a redirect to a configured ignore-URL.

I'd draw attention to this line in particular as possibly-dubious.

Servers often respond with relative Location redirects; but I think we want to match against more-fully-qualified URI paths.
