Thanks for the nice report and patch! 👍
I agree Sphinx could be more tolerant here.

Thank you for your contribution. +1 for merging this into 4.x branch instead of 4.0.x. Usually, we use 4.0.x branch only for severe or critical bug fixes. So this is better to merge this into 4.x branch. |

Subject: Resolves #9306
Feature or Bugfix
Purpose
make linkcheckto fail on URLs that will open and render properly in a web browser. Prior to this fix, the link checker would incorrectly call these links broken.Detail
HTTP HEADrequests, but will return the requested document forHTTP GETrequests. Thelinkcheck.pycode wasn't catching theConnectionErrorexception, and as a result the code would skip therequests.get()attempt. With this fix, ifrequests.head()raises aConnectionError, it will attempt arequests.get()which, for the UT Patent website, succeeds. If the website truly is rejecting all connections, an exception on therequests.get()call will still send control to theexcept Exception as errblock as before.Relates
