Says my URL https://www.qkast.com https://www.qkast.com is invalid.
- mmathias 10y agoThat's odd. UrlRoulette does some sanity checking on the content of the URL. Thank you for this bug report!
- Lorenzo45 10y agoI also had it fail for www.autodraw.com
- Clex 10y agoYou test the URL with a HEAD method that often 404. You should try with GET instead.
- hk__2 10y agoA server should respond with the same headers to a HEAD request as to a GET one.
- Daviey 10y agoSHOULD and DOES are not the same thing. Returning 405 'Method Not Allowed' on a HEAD isn't unreasonable, and that is the issue we are seeing. EDIT: did say GET on prior edit.
- tyingq 10y agoThey should, but many good sites just don't, for whatever reason. Even ones you know are run by smart people: $ curl -I -X HEAD https://redis.io/ HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found For this app, being more forgiving is a better idea.
- jaredsohn 10y agohttps://www.stumbleupon.com https://www.stumbleupon.com had a similar issue.

- artursapek 10y agohttps://cryptowat.ch https://cryptowat.ch fails too. seems to fail at very basic URL parsing.
- bigbugbag 10y agoit fails at a lot of other basic things: I was unable to post anything because my firefox 52 is not supported to get a recaptcha challenge. Please upgrade to a supported browser to get a reCAPTCHA challenge. Alternatively if you think you are getting this page in error, please check your internet connection and reload. I could reload to infinity, this would not fix this broken website or change the useless error message.
- Nycto 10y agoFails for Amazon URLs, too (And no, I didn't include a referral link in there.)
- tyingq 10y agoAmazon rejects obvious non real browser user agents. This app tries to verify urls before putting them in the queue. I think they may have more anti scraper measures as well.
