Ensure that domains resolve
Opened this issue · 2 comments
This should be a step further, taken by testing: if the profile's name is not a resolvable domain name with a ".yaml" extension, a mistake has likely been made (like a misspelling), and this would catch that.
I'm not sure how often this really happens, though, except when a site dies: I think it'd be better to write a whole tool at some point that runs through the urls listed in a profile and lists what comes back (HTTP status-wise), as well as a test for each filename's root domain.
The purpose of that tool would basically be to see which profiles are most direly need in review: if a lot of 404s and/or redirects are happening, something's probably changed (though, of course, this isn't guaranteed, as some URLs profile a redirecting path, so it can't be used as a test).
