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 mutiple 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.

Running httpx with stdin
This will run the tool against all the hosts and subdomains in hosts.txt and returns URLs running HTTP webserver.

- As default, httpx checks for
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.
