Thanks! Unfortunately, I'm not having any luck with it. Here are the
formats I've tried:

    ignore_links = (qr/LOGIN/)
    ignore_links = ('LOGIN')
    ignore_links = (LOGIN)

The url being tested is 'form: https://quicktel:8443/LOGIN'. What am I
doing wrong?

My redirect page still fails with a 403. It's easy enough to use
ignore_links to skip this error.

Cool.

My only comment about this format is that it doesn't clearly indicate
that only 3 were tested because the others were dupes. How about
something like the following:

  8 links found, 3 unique links tested. Failed: 0.

Great.
