Unreachable external link

Detects unreachable external links.

You can add an external link to your documentation by providing a URL in the href attribute. This inspection sends a request to the specified URL and reports a problem if the response status code is 400 or more.

NOTE: This inspection sends a GET request to the specified URL, which may trigger unintended actions, for example, if the URL points to an endpoint of a service.
