Thanks for the work on Linkchecker, it's a great tool! I noticed a possible bug with GitHub Issues label-based links and the HTML status returned by Linkchecker vs what I see from curl. I recognize this could be more complex; that there might be some redirection or other things happening that cause the URL to show this way. Just the same, I'm also interested in how to avoid flagging this seemingly "false negative" if there's an elegant way to configure Linkchecker for these types of links.
I initially experienced this challenge working on changes related to software-gardening/almanac#10 and used the .linkcheckerrc file to work around the issue through, for example:
GitHub provides the ability to filter the issues listing using labels. So far as I'm aware, any of these URL's created from filters will trigger similar results. For example: https://github.com/linkchecker/linkchecker/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug

GitHub provides the ability to filter the issues listing using labels. So far as I'm aware, any of these URL's created from filters will trigger similar results. For example:
https://github.com/linkchecker/linkchecker/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug
Please see the steps shown in this gist or Google Colab notebook.
Actual result
Linkchecker shows a status of 404 for these type of URL's.
Expected result
