Limitations

Unalix has some limitations related to link processing, see them below:

Getting direct links from URL shorteners

Unalix only follows the URLs/paths provided by the Location header (see RFC 7231, section 7.1.2: Location). It means that Unalix cannot obtain direct links from URL shorteners that require user interaction (e.g clicking a button or resolving CAPTCHA) to redirect or that uses JavaScript code to redirect.
