Bug #99909

False positive broken links by parsing URLs not inside <a> tags
0%
Description
Linkvalidator always reports an error due to the appearance of "http://" or "https://" in the body text (just text, no href etc.).
Linkvalidator should only check real links not the apparente of link like texts.
In addition it would be grate to have an icon in the "Listing of broken links" next to the pencil that can be clicked to ignore these errors (this link) in future crawlings.

Linkvalidator always reports an error due to the appearance of "http://" or "https://" in the body text (just text, no href etc.).
Can you give an example here and steps to reproduce (preferably reproducible in TYPO3 v13)?
Do you mean URLs directly in the body text, not enclosed in an <a> tag, such as
https://example.org/abc
as opposed to
<a href="https://example.org/abc">link</a>
If URLs are parsed as links also depends on how you configured the softref field in TCA.
For example
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['bodytext']['config']['softref'] = typolink_tag,email[subst],url;
If you remove the "url" here, URLs in bodytext will no longer be parsed as links.
Compare also how these URLs are rendered in the Frontend by TYPO3.
So, depending on your configuration this may be intended and correct behavior.
I am very well aware that there are still some problems with parsing, but this issue needs a better description.

For excluding specific external URLs there is already an issue: https://forge.typo3.org/issues/85127
You can also look at my extension "Broken Link Fixer" (brofix) which is a fork of linkvalidator and implements this, see https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/brofix

In the described case it is simply text, no anchor href. Here the example code from the rendered page as it is shown to the visitor.
