Description

The link checker seems to sometimes fail, even when it should not.

For example:
https://github.com/OWASP/ASVS/actions/runs/9854671316/job/27207915942

The link seems to work even through the link checker said it didn't.

Also, it says in the README that it is deprecated.

@ike do you think you could upgrade to the newer tool he suggests?
