exclude certain URLs from checking

[rdmueller]

in the same way in which I can configure which http codes are failure, warning and success, I would like to configure a list of URLs which are excluded from the http check:
(maybe as regexp)

httpExcludeURLs = [ '(http|https)://example.com.*']

[rdmueller]

I just noticed that there is already some kind of configuration for this

htmlSanityCheck/src/main/groovy/org/aim42/htmlsanitycheck/Configuration.groovy

Line 71 in 6dc5e59

final static String ITEM_NAME_urlsToExclude = "urlsToExclude"

but I can't find any implementation...

Hi @ascheman I would like to work on this bug too, please assign this to me and let me know in case of any update update.

@Prankurtiwari : The configuration has moved to htmlSanityCheck-core/src/main/java/org/aim42/htmlsanitycheck/Configuration.java as we switched from Groovy to Java meanwhile for the implementation of the core module.

Perhaps @rdmueller could help elaborate on this?

Per my understanding, the Configuration should be extended by a Set<String> of URLs to ignore, for example as they require credentials. Perhaps it would make sense to enable some sort of pattern matching (regular expression) to allow to ignore a more or less large subset of URLs.
