# Also added url and pattern match in alert output to make it easier to
# identify actual issue

doesn't work with Joomla

by: simak

Doesn't work with Joomla 3.x websites.
When the string is not found the script returns the whole website html content. I use Ubuntu 12.0x.

http is great, https doesn't work

by: dhaff713

They both work great with an http address, but can either one work with an https address? If so, how?

Owner's Reply:

Hi Dhaff713 try the working-web.sh I have just added https will add it to the web.sh but take a look at github - noticed on 302 moved url's it does not work too well

Changed web.sh to use netcat rather than built in elinks command this will be very difficult to make work with https (netcat)

I will have a good think about this may end up writing the entire thing in java which will support all aspects with easy to use libraries
