Thanks alot to @christolis for helping me out on making this pull request.
Added two utulity methods
isLinkBrokenandreplaceDeadLinks-
isLinkBroken(String url) checks the link availability using a HEAD requestI used HEAD request instead of GET request to check link availability without downloading the response body, reducing bandwidth and improving the performance.
-
replaceDeadLinks(String text, String replacement) replaces unreachable/broken links asynchronously.This change does not have any behavior changes to the existing code.
