      Issue Summary

      When adding a custom website connector to Rovo, if the site contains a link that appends to the URL infinitely, Rovo will continue to index in a continuous loop

      https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/connect-custom-website-to-rovo/

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a website and add content to the site
      2. Add a link on one of the pages that links to the same page and appends some string to the page (such as /wiki/123/)

      Expected Results

      Rovo stops indexing the infinite looping URLs after a certain depth

      Actual Results

      Rovo continuously follows the URL, resulting in a (near) infinite loop and thousands of indexed objects  

       

      For example: https://testsite.atlassian.com/wiki/homepage/wiki/123/homepage/wiki/123/homepage/wiki/123/homepage/wiki/123/homepage/wiki/123/homepage/wiki/123

      Workaround

      Update the site to not include links to URLs that append infinitely
