We don’t use Xenu on logged in pages as we find it’s too dangerous, despite Eric’s recommendation above.

One note, you really don’t have to worry about Xenu doing deletes on authenticated pages (or running ads on public facing anonymous pages for that matter). Xenu does not execute an HTTP GET – it executes an HTTP HEAD to fetch only the head contents. While Xenu may find JSP pages that offer the delete functionality, it would never be able to access any of the content in the body.

Hi Jaap,

What you are looking for is in the html report. Click r to generate an html report and you will have lists broken down by page and by link.

Good luck.

Hi,

I am new to Xenu and I have a question which I think is very trivial …
I have a report of broken links. Now I want to see on what pages on the site the links are on. For example: I see the link A is not valid. Now I want to see that link A can be found on page ABC. Than I can start fixing it. I can’t find it in the report or anywhere else. I must have missed it somewhere, for it seems so obvious.

Broken links was a real pain for me. Thanks for the tip!

I too am unable to find any preference to check sites that require login/authentication.

I see some reference in the documentation about setting up a proxy or something. Does anyone have any experience checking sites that require authentication with this application?

Hello Ahmed,

You are welcome.

I assure you that the feature is in Xenu but we don’t use it ourselves. You’ll have to experiment (try logging in to a site and then running Xenu on it). I believe this functionality is documented on the Xenu site.
