crates.io links cannot be resolved

[stanislav-tkach]

No crates.io links can be resolved. For example, a file only contains a single link:

https://crates.io/crates/tokio

mlc gives the following output:

> mlc

[Err ] ./test.md (1, 1) => https://crates.io/crates/tokio. 404 - Not Found

Result (1 links):

OK       0
Skipped  0
Warnings 0
Errors   1


The following links could not be resolved:

./test.md (1, 1) => https://crates.io/crates/tokio.

By the way, are all browser and smartphone details in the issue template really needed for this project?

Hey, thank you very much for opening an issue. Unfortunately I cannot really solve this issue. All crates.io pages have the same problem. I also get a 404 when I query the page with curl curl https://crates.io/crates/tokio {"errors":[{"detail":"Not Found"}]} I guess it is intentionally that crates.io shall only be visible to web-browsers.

And yes, I will update the template. Absolutely no need for this info.

@becheran I believe this can be worked around with adding this header to the requests: Accept: text/html
rust-lang/crates.io#788

[becheran]

Right. Thanks @mvlabat. I added the header info and it works. I will push and release an updated version with the fix. Many thanks
