Metis 2.1 released

["Sacha Faust" <sacha () severus org>]

Metis 2.1 is now available from : http://www.severus.org/sacha/metis

Information
-----------
This is a tool I wrote to collect information from web servers. This was
written for the Open Source Security Testing Methodology (OSSTM) 
located on http://www.ideahamster.org/osstmm-description.htm.

If you get OutOfMemory errors, it means that the site you are scanning
is quite big and you need to 
grow the heap size by using the -Xms<size> option. By default, the
metis.bat will set it to 150.

Please read the user documentation in the doc directory.
