Known issues:
1. drupal_http_request() does handle (invalid) non-absolute redirects. The
main issue is a broken webserver configuration and you can try to notify
the site owner about doing non-rfc compliant redirections.
This is a very common administration fault from past days and core should
implement a workaround. See http://drupal.org/node/164365 for more details.
Until this issue is fixed in core the permanently moved links are not
automatically fixed/updated by the "Update permanently moved links" feature
to the newly provided URL.
-> Workaround: Manually fix these links or try the patch.
2. Drupal 6.14 only: A critical core bug has been introduced by #193383:
set_time_limit: Centralize calls and prevent warnings and errors that stops
link checker from verifying links. Apply the available D6 hotfix in #111 or
update to Drupal 6.15+ to fix your installation.
There are a lot of known issues in drupal_http_request(). These have been solved
in HTTPRL. As a workaround it's recommended to use HTTPRL in linkchecker.
