I'm seeing some errors with failed: 999 No error from Linkedin urls here.

After a curl I could see that Linkedin was sending 999 Request denied

Andersos$ curl -I https://no.linkedin.com/in/andersos

HTTP/1.1 999 Request denied

According to this question it looks like they are filtering on user agent. Is there anything that can be done, to get my tests to pass, other than ignoring the urls or removing links to Linkedin?

I'm using version 2.2.0.

I just updated the README to note how the UA string can be changed. Good luck!

Thanks, I ended up changing most of Linkedin urls and ignoring the rest.
I posted this so other people are able to search up this scenario.
Thanks for updating the README 👍

I am having the same issue with LinkedIn urls. Changing the UA does not fix this for me.

Strangely the test runs fine locally with or without the UA specified.
curl reports an error though locally.

Something to do with TravisCI?

Something to do with TravisCI?

What we see here is a result of data wars. We don’t know, what connections LinkedIn is blocking right now.

Travis, it fails due to potential issue with their _CA Cert Bundle_

I've faced the same issue and ignored 999 code for now:

HTMLProofer.check_directory('./_site', http_status_ignore: [999]).run
