Disable AEM's ink checker using cURL

[archit2112]

As per this article - https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/DisableLinkChecker.html to disable link checker in AEM we need to follow these steps -

Disable all link checking by configuration

1. Go to /system/console/configMgr and login as admin.
2. Find the "Link Checker Transformer"
3. Check the "Disable Checking" box and save
4. Go to /crx/explorer and login as admin
5. Open "Content Explorer"
6. Browse to /var/linkchecker
7. Right click the node and select "Delete Recursively"
8. Click "Save All"

I want to include disabling link checker as a part of my AEM server's deployment/setup script. Is there a way to do this using cURL?

Thanks

Hi,

I was checking if something can be done from JMX but no operations are define there for link checker.

I would suggest create a sling servlet which will be called via CURL.

This servlet will change configuration and will delete the node.

You can add OSGI config based on your run mode to disable. Which can be in source code and will be part of code deployment.
