       linkcheckerrc - configuration file for LinkChecker

DESCRIPTION

       linkcheckerrc  is  the configuration file for LinkChecker.  The file is written in an INI-
       style format.
       The    default    file    location    is     ~/.linkchecker/linkcheckerrc     on     Unix,
       %HOMEPATH%\.linkchecker\linkcheckerrc on Windows systems.

SETTINGS

   [checking]
       cookiefile=filename
              Read  a  file  with  initial  cookie  data.  The cookie data format is explained in

              Command line option: --cookiefile

       localwebroot=STRING
              When checking absolute URLs inside local files, the given root directory is used as
              base URL.
              Note  that the given directory must have URL syntax, so it must use a slash to join
              directories instead of a backslash.  And the given directory must end with a slash.
              Command line option: none

       nntpserver=STRING
              Specify an NNTP server  for  news:  links.  Default  is  the  environment  variable

              Command line option: --timeout

       useragent=STRING

              Command line option: none

       maxrunseconds=NUMBER
              Stop checking new URLs after the given number of seconds. Same as if the user stops

   [authentication]
       entry=REGEX USER [PASS] (MULTILINE)
              Provide different user/password pairs for different  link  types.   Entries  are  a
              triple  (URL regex, username, password) or a tuple (URL regex, username), where the
              entries are separated by whitespace.
              The password is optional and if missing it has to be entered at the commandline.
              If the regular expression matches the checked URL, the given user/password pair  is
              used  for  authentication.  The  commandline options -u and -p match every link and
              therefore override the entries given here. The first match  wins.  At  the  moment,
              authentication is used/needed for http[s] and ftp links.
              Command line option: -u, -p

        ignorewarnings=http-moved-permanent

PLUGINS

       All  plugins have a separate section. If the section appears in the configuration file the

   [LocationInfo]
       Adds the country and if possible city name of the  URL  host  as  info.   Needs  GeoIP  or
       pygeoip and a local country or city lookup DB installed.

   [RegexCheck]
       Define  a  regular  expression  which  prints  a  warning if it matches any content of the
       checked link. This applies only to valid pages, so we can get their content.

       Use this to check for pages that contain some form of error  message,  for  example  'This
       page has moved' or 'Oracle Application error'.

       Note  that  multiple  values can be combined in the regular expression, for example "(This
       page has moved|Oracle Application error)".

   [SslCertificateCheck]
       Check SSL certificate expiration date. Only internal  https:  links  will  be  checked.  A

              Configures the expiration warning time in days.

   [HtmlSyntaxCheck]
       Check   the   syntax   of   HTML   pages   with   the  online  W3C  HTML  validator.   See

       http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/manual.html#expert.

   [VirusCheck]
       Checks the page content for virus infections with clamav.  A local clamav daemon  must  be
       installed.

       clamavconf=filename
              Filename of clamd.conf config file.

   [PdfParser]
       Parse PDF files for URLs to check. Needs the pdfminer Python package installed.
