Constant Summary collapse

SIMILARITY_TOLERANCE =

Valid responses to discovery checks should vary wildly, especially when considering the types of directories and files that these checks look for.

On the other hand, custom-404 or such responses will have many things in common which makes it possible to spot them without much bother.

Ideally, custom-404s will be identified properly by the HTTP::Client::Dynamic404Handler but this is here to save our ass in case there's a bug or an unforeseen edge-case or something.

Also, identified resources should be analyzed by the Trainer but there can be cases where unreliable custom-404 signatures lead to FPs and feeding FPs to the system can create an infinite loop.

REMARK =

Remark in case of an untrusted issue.

'This issue was logged by a discovery check but ' +
'the response for the resource it identified is very similar to responses ' +
'for other resources of similar type. This is a strong indication that ' +
'the logged issue is a false positive.'

#log_remote_file_if_exists(url, silent = false, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: log_remote_directory_if_exists

Note:

Ignores custom 404 responses.

Logs a remote file or directory if it exists.

Parameters:

  • url (String)

    Resource to check.

  • silent (Bool) (defaults to: false)

    If false, a message will be printed to stdout containing the status of the operation.

  • block (Proc)

    Called if the file exists, just before logging the issue, and is passed the HTTP response.

Returns:

  • (Object)
    • false if an invalid URL was provided.
    • true if everything went fine.

#remote_file_exist?(url, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: remote_file_exists?

Note:

Ignores custom 404 responses.

Checks whether or not a remote resource exists.

Parameters:

  • url (String)

    Resource to check.

  • block (Block)

    Block to be passed true if the resource exists or false otherwise and the response for the resource check.

Returns:

  • (Object)
    • false if an invalid URL was provided.
    • true if everything went fine.
