Description Ville Skyttä 2002-12-07 13:30:40 UTC 
The recursion scope restriction seems to be broken, and checklink wanders to
other hosts.

An example where this happens is here:
<http://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=tacvek.tripod.com&summary=on&hide_type=all&recursive=on&depth=3&check=Check>
Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2002-12-07 13:35:51 UTC 
This does happen if one enters "tacvek.tripod.com" or "http://tacvek.tripod.com"
to the URI field, but does *not* happen if the URI is
"http://tacvek.tripod.com/" or "tacvek.tripod.com/".

IOW, there needs to be at least one slash after the hostname.
Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2002-12-08 09:47:28 UTC 
Fixed in 3.6.2.2.
