I would probably prefer an option to make it actually run curl -I (send HTTP HEAD commands) or thereabouts against make fetch-urlall-list to check if the file is fetchable, either way you go with the warning. We could then have warnings about unfetchable URLs. I know we have separate online services for that, but it would be fitting for portlint.
