This link checker / sitemap generator is built using spatie/crawler which uses guzzle to do the crawling.
This is very similar to spatie/http-status-check but intends to add some functionality.
This is very similar to spatie/http-status-check but due to the way guzzle handles redirects I wasn't happy with the results; known 404's, and even whole chunks of known URLs were missing from crawl results. By following this https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/blob/master/docs/faq.rst#how-can-i-track-redirected-requests I was able to get a crawl result with the complete list of responses as I was expecting.
The nodejs test server is copied directly from spatie/http-status-check with some additional pages added. The examples below will br run against the test server in this repo.
The node.js test server is copied directly from spatie/http-status-check but refactored to offer a more diverse range of tests cases that cover the redirect issues noted above.
The examples below are run against the test server in this project.
## EXCEPTION: Status code must be an integer value between 1xx and 5xx
I ran across this exception https://github.com/spatie/crawler/issues/271
and the patch for GuzzleHttp/Guzzle fixed it https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/pull/2591
Without this patch `CrawlerTest::testInvalidStatusCode` will fail.
## Follow redirects
By default `spatie/http-status-check` has `guzzle` set to not follow redirects. This results in the potential for parts of the site to be uncrawlable if they are behind a 301 or 302 redirect, and not linked internally anywhere else with a non-redirecting link.
Some webservers include a `<a href="destination">` link on the 301/302 body and this will mitigate the problem (spaite indexes and follows it), however if the webserver does not do this, then the link wont be followed to its true destination, and the destination won't be crawled.

This is most obvious with a redirect to a not found page: You'd expect to see a 404 here:

This looks better, we can see the 404 now, and the rest of the site being index, however on closer inspection you'll notice there are no 301 or 302's being shown. And the redirectToFound is actually showing as a 200. The homepage is missing.
This looks better, we can see the 404 and the 200 now, however on closer inspection you'll notice there are no 301 or 302's being shown. And the redirectToFound is actually showing as a 200 where the real response was 301, the 200 should be associated with the /found URL that is still missing from the results. For generating a sitemap of valid paged we'd need the destination URL, not the redirect URL.
Enter my sitemap crawler:
```
$ bin/crawler crawl http://localhost:8080/redirectToNotFound
$ bob@chodbox:~/Projects/sitemap$ bin/crawler crawl http://localhost:8080/redirectToNotFound
302 http://localhost:8080/redirectToNotFound
404 http://localhost:8080/notFound2
```
404 http://localhost:8080/notFound
and
$ bin/crawler crawl http://localhost:8080/redirectToFound
```
302 http://localhost:8080/redirectToFound
200 http://localhost:8080/
200 http://localhost:8080/link1
200 http://localhost:8080/link2
302 http://localhost:8080/link4
200 http://example.com/
200 http://localhost:8080/link3
404 http://localhost:8080/notExists
200 http://localhost:8080/found
```
This seems to be a feature of guzzle and not really a bug of spatie. https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/blob/master/docs/faq.rst#how-can-i-track-redirected-requests
## Collate `foundOnUrl`s.
* Requires a patch to spatie/crawler https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/spatie/crawler/pull/280 (auto applied)
* Requires a patch to spatie/crawler https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/spatie/crawler/pull/280 (auto applied) without this patch the `CrawlerTest::testInterlinked` test will fail.
* TODO: Document the confusing PART1&2 behaviour. (collating the redirect urls)
