Question

AEM Link checker will make only Head requests. This documentation still says Link checker makes GET requests

Closed this issue a year ago · 4 comments

Until the AEM 6.4 release, the Link Checker would make both a HEAD and GET request when validating links.
This behavior was changed in AEM 6.5 to address a critical security vulnerability (CQ-4259662 | SSRF in the Link Checker).
Hence from AEM 6.5 onwards, the Link Checker will only submit HEAD requests.

Refer to this documentation 1.

Please update the product documentation accordingly.

The link you have provided is not part of this repo. It belongs to another repo that belongs to another team. I have forwarded the ticket to that team.
As we can no longer track this I am closing this issue now.
