Notes on usage

  • As default an httpx probe with an HTTPS scheme will fall-back to HTTP only if HTTPS is not reachable.
  • The -no-fallback flag can be used to probe and display both HTTP and HTTPS result.
  • Custom scheme for ports can be defined, for example -ports http:443,http:80,https:8443
  • Custom resolver supports multiple protocol (doh|tcp|udp) in form of protocol:resolver:port (for example udp:127.0.0.1:53)
  • The following flags should be used for specific use cases instead of running them as default with other probes:
    • - ports
    • - path
    • - vhost
    • - screenshot
    • - csp-probe
    • - tls-probe
    • - favicon
    • - http2
    • - pipeline
    • - tls-impersonate
