=== SUMMARY ===

  Broken (domain gone):          12
  Redirect → 404:                16  (all ci.apache.org)
  Redirect → unrelated content:   6
  Soft 404:                        4
  Domain parked:                   1
  Working redirects to update:    14
                                 ---
  Total issues:                   53
  Working links:                 266
  Total checked:                 319

Notes:
  - The 5 Novell/NetWare links are all in platform/netware.xml — the
    entire NetWare platform doc may be a candidate for retirement.
  - The 16 ci.apache.org Doxygen links need a new hosting location
    for the httpd API docs before they can be fixed.
