Trouble with redirects (Google Sites)

[davorpetreski]

Hey! First of all, thank you for the amazing tool, it's been very useful.

Now, onto my problem.

I used your broken link checker to check broken links on a Google Sites website. Here's the code:

    const {SiteChecker} = require("broken-link-checker");

const siteChecker = new SiteChecker({
    excludeExternalLinks: false,
    excludeInternalLinks: false,
    filterLevel: 1,
    requestMethod: 'get', 
},

{
    "error": (error) => {
        console.error(error);
    },
    "end": () => {
        console.log ("THE SCAN IS DONE");
    },
    "link": (result) => {
        if(result.broken){
                console.log ("URL IS: " + `${result.url.original}`, 
                "LOCATION: " + `${result.base.original}`, "WITH TEXT: " + `${result.html.text}`);
            }
    }
});

siteChecker.enqueue("urlstringhere");

It works on regular sites (I tried it on my personal website http://davorpetreski.online), but it won't work on Google Sites because Google encodes the URLs and redirects. For example:

https://wakelet.com/wake/L0UVOgn6Hd_1Gsnju6oxN

on Google Sites is

https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwakelet.com%2Fwake%2FL0UVOgn6Hd_1Gsnju6oxN&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHcpspNj_moWDExR_meisyPFxNEfg

The link checker, checks the second one and says it's OK (because it's just a redirecting page), whereas the actual link returns a 404. Is there a workaround for this?
