See bug 314400.

These all work fine for me. Looks like you're not allowed to access wikipedia ;-)

>/api/index-files/index*.html
Those might be wrong links in Javadoc. Need to take a closer look on these...

I cannot find anything suspicious in the source of those index files. They are generated by Javadoc and HTTP status code 204 doesn't necessarily mean that a link is broken.

Ha - Found it! Running my own checker that also shows the link name/title, I found out that it's a problem with a relative links used inside some classes, see bug 314411 and bug 314413.

Is your link spider freely available?

You know what: I used the same as you ;-) It looks like the title/name is only in the GUI but not in the report.
