Description

If the path to a local HTML file is given, it should be scanned, and respect absolute/relative file paths in relation to its directory. For example, when scanning /path/to/my/index.html:

  • <a href="../foo.html"> references the file /path/to/foo.html
  • <a href="/bar.html"> references the file /path/to/my/bar.html

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the scanner to accept a local file path, parse the HTML, resolve relative and absolute hrefs relative to the file's directory, and check links accordingly.
