AEM 6.5 LinkCheckerImpl Ignoring malformed URI:Expected authority at index

Hi All,

 

Had a question that someone might have come across and may be really easy to solve

 

I see this on pubs and author.

1. Strangely pub has the config on link checker disabled and we still see the WARNs, unsure why 

2. Do we know how this can be solved and what this even means ? Limited data displayed for the warning to infer anything

 

WARN GET /content/cc/test/week.html HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.rewriter.linkchecker.impl.LinkCheckerImpl Ignoring malformed URI: java.net.URISyntaxException: Expected authority at index 7: http://

 

Thanks

Can you post the URLs being configured via RTE?

I have seen adding a 'https://' to the empty value, and then proceeding to try to parse that will reproduce the same error.

You might want to configure a validation for links in form of protocol or external links.

This happens when URLs are created but not encoded correctly.

Try using

URLEncoder.encode(url.toString());

    These appear to be urls accessed and not encoded via code, some authored via RTE
