I've addressed a bunch of these. Here's the updated TODO list. Please do feel
free to pitch in. :) 


BROKEN EXTERNAL LINKS IN HTTPD DOCUMENTATION
==============================================
Generated: 2026-04-17
Updated:   2026-04-28
Source: English XML files in docs/manual/
Checked: 319 unique external URLs from active English XML source files
Note: _off/ (archived translations) excluded

=== REDIRECT → 404 (ci.apache.org Doxygen — All Broken) ===

All ci.apache.org URLs redirect to ci2.apache.org which returns 404.
The old Apache CI system has been decommissioned.

=== SUMMARY ===

  Remaining issues:
    Redirect → 404 (ci.apache.org):  16  
    Redirect → unrelated content:     1 
    Soft 404:                          2 
    Working redirects to update:      13
                                     ---
    Total remaining:                  32

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.
  - ssl/ssl_compat.xml may be a candidate for retirement (historical content).
  - misc/ files (security_tips, perf-tuning, relevant_standards) need
    larger editorial work beyond simple link fixes.
