Patrick, can you tell us more about where we stand in this respect? I tend to recall that we weren't too far from being able to do this.
This is all done. I am using the functionality in the spider module/script which is still in development. I can apply it early now if Ron would like to use it immediately. I will also apply the condition variable patch to nse_nmaplib.cc as condition variables are very necessary for synchronization with worker threads. -- -Patrick Donnelly "Let all men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows." - Benjamin Franklin _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
