httpx

FeaturesInstallationUsageDocumentationNotesJoin Discord

httpx is a fast and multi-purpose HTTP toolkit that allows running multiple probes using the retryablehttp library. It is designed to maintain result reliability with an increased number of threads.

Features

httpx

  • Simple and modular code base making it easy to contribute.
  • Fast And fully configurable flags to probe multiple elements.
  • Supports multiple HTTP based probings.
  • Smart auto fallback from https to http as default.
  • Supports hosts, URLs and CIDR as input.
  • Handles edge cases doing retries, backoffs etc for handling WAFs.

Supported probes

Probes Default check Probes Default check
URL true IP true
Title true CNAME true
Status Code true Raw HTTP false
Content Length true HTTP2 false
TLS Certificate true HTTP Pipeline false
CSP Header true Virtual host false
Line Count true Word Count true
