httpx is a fast and multi-purpose HTTP toolkit allow to run multiple probers using retryablehttp library, it is designed to maintain the result reliability with increased threads.
- 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.

HTTPSprobe and fall-back toHTTPonly ifHTTPSis not reachable. - For printing both HTTP/HTTPS results,
no-fallbackflag can be used. - Custom scheme for ports can be defined, for example
-ports http:443,http:80,https:8443 vhost,http2,pipeline,ports,csp-probe,tls-probeandpathare unique flag with different probes.- Unique flags should be used for specific use cases instead of running them as default with other flags.
- When using
jsonflag, all the information (default probes) included in the JSON output.
