Then why does it say any link ending with the extention of ".txt" is invalid even if it works?Phade wrote:Hey,
Ummmm, you are retarded. The link checker looks to see if the link you entered actually goes somewhere and not into a black hole (ie, 404). Windows Media has nothing to do with the checker. Heck, you could link to warez directly and the checker wouldn't care as long as the link is good. Of course, you will be banned if you link to stuff you shouldn't be linking to.

You're not just checking if it's a valid link, you are checking the actual format.
(In order to fool some sites such as tripod, you can change the extention to .txt and it will allow direct linkage)

Hey,
1. Server establishes an HTTP request using the link provided.
2. The returned HTTP headers are read and analized.
3. If the header returns "200: ok", it means the link is good.
4. Any other return, such as "404: file not found" or a server timeout, is deemed as the link is "not ok".
That's all that the checker does.

Nope. Here's how the link checker works:SQ wrote:Then why does it say any link ending with the extention of ".txt" is invalid even if it works?
