Hi Henri, On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 11:28:48AM +0200 or thereabouts, Henri Salo wrote:
"Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://nmap.org/submit/ ." Should that be changed to: "Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at http://nmap.org/submit/." And also check that www-server supports that dot in the url if someone writes it or copies it to browser. This could be done by forwarding user to correct page.
I think the space is there to avoid anybody accidentally copying the dot along with the URL. On my system, when I double-click a URL it highlights until the next space which makes copying URLs that are surrounded by whitespace easier. One exception to this is domain names, for example: "So come visit us at http://nmap.org." In this case, the period is fine and is arguably even more correct because it will anchor the domain at the top level so it can't be confused with, for instance, nmap.org.myisp.com. if your resolver tests for local sub-domains (see the search directive of resolv.conf). Hope this helps, Doug
