Description
There are few link related issues:

URL: http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/api/overview-summary.html
Broken Link: http://cgi.omg.org/

There are many occurrences of the above url 

error Lines: 1403, 1487 http://cgi.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/2000-08-06
http://cgi.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?formal/99-10-07

 List of redirects

The links below are not broken, but the document does not use the exact URL, and the links were redirected. It may be a good idea to link to the final location, for the sake of speed.

warning Line: 1551 http://java.sun.com/xml redirected to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html
    Status: 301 -> 200 OK

    This is a permanent redirect. The link should be updated.
Comments
reference is made to a broken link in the XML API we could replace these with https://jaxp.java.net/ but that's an issue for Joe Wang. I'll fix the CORBA links and open a separate one for XML broken links

This must have been a recent change in the OMG site or it is a firewall issue within Oracle. link is http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ptc/00-01-08 and not cgi.omg.org
