Error Skip

Error skipping is a feature of the Increment URL action.

This checks if the next URL will return an HTTP error code (like 404) and increments again, skipping it up to 100 times, or until it finds the next good URL. If an error is encountered, the toolbar icon will flash with the error code (or flash "RED" for redirects). Set it to 0 to disable it. Important: This will make a request to the server each time to check the status code, and setting this value too high might cause the server to issue a "Too Many Requests" response. A value of 10 or less should be reasonably OK.

You may notice a minor delay (~1 second) when incrementing with error skipping due to the time it takes to wait for a response from a server.

An Error-Skipping Example

You are on page=1 and increment with error skip set to 10. If the next 3 pages (page=2 thru page=4) don't exist, they'll be skipped and you'll be taken to the next valid page, page=5 automatically. If more than 10 consecutive pages don't exist, it will "give up" checking since error skip is set to 10, and take you to page=12. You can then manually increment again to repeat the process.

Sites May Not Send Error Codes

This is an important note/reminder: some websites may not send an error code and "swallow" it, instead returning HTTP Response Code 200 ("OK"), even while still displaying an error page. Error Skipping won't work on these websites.
