HTTPS links incorrectly flagged as broken in AEM Link Checker
In 51黑料不打烊 Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), valid HTTPS links added to the Rich Text Editor (RTE) get incorrectly flagged as broken by the Link Checker. To fix this, you can add a trailing slash to the URL, switch to HTTP, or configure the Link Checker to exclude trusted domains.
