I was googling for tools for checking broken links in a remote web page. The w3c validator seemed a good one. But I am still unsure as how to check for pages which are restricted, i.e. the pages which I can only access by logging in to the site. Can we do that using the w3c validator? If not than is there any other tool for the same?
For basic authentication the online validator will proxy it and prompt you to logon, alternatively see this post.
Sometimes you can specify the login details in the URL: username:password#url.to.the.site. This I believe only will work if you are using a .htaccess file for logins.

Following a migration, I am trying to reconfigure TYPO3.
The backend is accessible by its url and I manage to connect. But the home page for example gives me the following error: The page did not exist or was inaccessible. Reason: No site configuration found.
All pages are not accessible by their url normally but are accessible through different query parameters, like /index.php?id=2&L=0.
I already tried to replace the .htaccess with the basic one provided by TYPO3, I also checked the Apache configuration and everything seems to be ok. I am not familiar with the TYPO3 CMS so I don't know if some of these configurations are done directly in its files. To me, it seems to be a mod_rewrite problem but I can't find it.
Someone would have a solution or at least a track to solve this problem?
As stated in the error message that you've posted it seems that the site configuration is missing. In the TYPO3 backend you can create new site configuration via Site Management => Sites.
Please check the site handling documentation for details.
The company I work for has an web application built with Angular, that has user authentication.
We also have a blog built with Webflow for simplicity.
The thing is, we want to create special pages on our blog only for premium users. For that, a user would need to sign in on the blog (webflow) using the same account they use on the main web application. After that, the blog would also need to know if they should have access to said pages (is a premium user), and then allow them to access such areas.
I've been looking for information about this, but I've been unable to locate a clear answer. I tried following this, but the GET request for https://webflow.com/oauth/authorize (using my own clientID) returns their home page. This can be seen on the printscreen below:
The request has the following format: https://webflow.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=<CLIENT_ID>&response_type=code. It redirects twice (code 301 and 302), then just returns me their homepage.
In fact, I'm not even sure this oauth integration would solve my problem. Is this even achievable using webflow?
I want to use an application that checks for broken links. I got to know that, Xenu is one such software. I do not have access to internal aspx/http files on a drive. The Problem I am facing is the Website requires the user to be authenticated. After login I need to crawl the site to determine which links are broken.
As an example, I kick off with mail.google.com. We end up typing the Username and password after which we are served different URLs. If I give the Xenu (or similar programs) the link such as mail.google.com it will not be able to fecth URLs inside the mail.google.com which will be of type - /mail/u/0/?shva=1#inbox/ etc. There lies the problem.
With minimal or least scripting language how can I provide Xenu (or other similar app) capability to Login by providing external URL (mail.google.com) in this example in order to do whatever xenu has to do.
Thanks

Xenu can be used with an authenticated user as long as the cookies are persistent. You will need to enable cookies in Xenu and login once yourself using IE.
From their FAQ:
By default, cookies are disabled, and Xenu rejects all cookies. If you
need cookies because
you have used Internet Explorer to authenticate yourself before
starting a run
to prevent the server from delivering URLs with a
session ID
then you can enable the cookies in the advanced options
dialog. (This has been available since Version 1.2g)
Warning: You
should not use this option if you have links that delete data, e.g. a
database or a shop - you are risking data loss!!!
You can enable cookies in the Options menu. Click Preferences and switch to the Advanced tab.
For single page applications (like gmail) you will also need to configure Xenu to parse Javascript
This is done by modifying the ini file (traditionally at C:\Program Files (x86)\Xenu135\Xenu.ini) and adding a line of code under [Options]
Javascript=[Jj]ava[Ss]cript: *[_a-zA-Z0-9]+ *\( *['"]((/|ftp://|https?://)[^'"]+)['"]
There are several variations provided in their FAQ, but I didn't get them to work perfectly.
I'm building a site with Umbraco, and there are a couple of pages that need to be visited over HTTPS instead of HTTP (e.g. a login page).
I've seen a couple of macros that get put on the page that needs to use HTTPS, and essentially just check the protocol used and do a Response.Redirect with the correct protocol if necessary. This seems like a terrible way of achieving what seems to be a fairly basic requirement - ideally I'd want Umbraco to render any links to these pages as <a href="https://...", not do a redirect when the user goes to a page.
With these redirecting macros, there's also the possibility of a browser displaying a warning if the user's on an HTTPS page and navigates to a HTTP one. If the links are relative, the user will be redirected from HTTPS to HTTP, and the browser may warn about this.
Is there a way to achieve this without modifying any Umbraco framework code?
There's currently no built-in way to make a few pages in Umbraco return a https url.
The only way I can think of doing this at the moment is just by making sure that you set up your links correctly.
But there's no way of stopping people from entering the insecure link. That is where the redirects come in handy though, it will make sure you don't get to a secure page insecurely.
I would recommend running the whole site in https mode. In the past, performance would have been an objection to running your full site in https mode. However with modern servers, this really shouldn't be a problem any more.
Okay I'm a little confused on how to do this due to the fact that I'm new to Joomla.
I have a site where users need to be logged in to view certain articles. I want restricted articles to basically pick up weather or not the user is logged in, if so proceed as normal, else display a login/registration form.
I looked at the plugins section and found a "Joomla-Authentication" plugin. Now, how do I use that in an article in the same fashion I use other plugins in article? i.E {plugin_name}params{/plugin_name}
NO... You do not need plugin for this AT ALL.
In Joomla you have "Access Type" for modules/articles/pretty much everything.
Public - Visitors
Registered - logged in users
Special - back-end users
In Back-End go to Modules and create new Log-In module. In the access type selected "Public".
When you create articles select "Registered Access" this way only signed-in users will see the article.
This will help you. Log-In the admin Back-End (Administrator Screen), go to Help->Joomla Help. In the Alphabetical Index find following topics:
Module Manager (it explains access types)
Module - New
Article Manager (it explains access types)
Article Manager - New/Edit
I found a solution that works for me. I downloaded and installed JUMI. Jumi is a Joomla extension that allows you to include files such as php and then executes the code in those files. Through PHP I check user access and do redirects accordingly.
