Stop redirects
Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2016 11:57 am
Hi
I am trying to download a number of files:
http://www.somerandomfiles.com/Pic1
http://www.somerandomfiles.com/Pic2..........
If the link exists, it downloads happily.
If the link does not exist, the website sends it to a different landing page.
My problem is that FDM changes the link from
http://www.somerandomfiles.com/Pic2 to http://www.somerandomfiles.com/newlandingpage
so, I am unable to export genuine urls, of the links that had issues, as they all show http://www.somerandomfiles.com/newlandingpage rather than the initial url.
Is there anyway to stop FDM:
1. changing the link address? So that I know which links, I need to amend.
2. if the site tries to redirect, just to skip the download?
Many thanks
