I am using the urlchecker action on my Github Repository to check for broken urls. However, my link which seems to work is giving an error when being checked by the respective urlchecker Github action.

I have tried using url-shortner, but that doesn't work? What am I missing here?

I realised that one of the links didn't have a vaild SSL certificate and only had TSL certificates. Moereover, the Github URLChecker Action might be using Pythons requests.get(url) which seems to verify for SSL by default as mentioned here, therefore a compeletely working link without an SSL(maybe having a TLS) might fail the URL Check. (This is speculation from my side as to how the url checker action works but the most likely scenario in this case )
