HTTPS localhost URLs are not ignored

If a page contains:

!!! note

    Connect to <https://localhost/admin>

The following error is logged:

ERROR   -  Error building page 'page.md': https://localhost: -1
 
https://localhost/admin: -1

Exception: https://localhost: -1

And nothing is running on localhost (and connections will receive a TCP reset), it doesn't seem possible to ignore the error:

plugins:
  - search
  - htmlproofer:
      raise_error: True
      raise_error_excludes:
        -1: ["https://localhost/admin"]

Even with this, the error is still present. How would one suppress this?

Environment

macOS
Python 3.9.5
mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin 0.3.0

Thanks for reporting. I might only have time to look into it during weekend.

@manuzhang Just checking if there is anything that can be done to help this along. Thanks.

It will be great if you can help with a PR.

Doing a quick glance through the code, perhaps the issue is that in my case I'm using https:// localhost URLs but this logic is only configured to special case http://?

mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin/htmlproofer/plugin.py

Line 45 in 11724a3

if url.startswith('http://' + local):

Perhaps this could be improved by using a regex that checks for http or https like is done here:

mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin/htmlproofer/plugin.py

Line 50 in 11724a3

elif re.match('https?://', clean_url):

@johnthagen,
Thanks for helping out while I spent the weekend watching European Football. 😅

spent the weekend watching European Football

Of course! We should all get to enjoy the weekend. 😄 I'm glad the fix turned out to be fairly simple in this case.
