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
