If desired, we could note that the services are http-based in nmap-services and/or the extrainfo field of nmap-service-probes.Agreed. Some options for the interface are portrule = shortport.http portrule = shortport.special("http") portrule = http.portruleI don't have a strong opinion, but I think I like shortport.http best. http.portrule is problematic because we might want to extend this approach to other services, and we may not have specific libraries for them. So we'd either lose consistency or have to create a library just for the servicename.portrule. Shortport.special is OK and might be preferable if we were going to have 50+ of these functions. But I don't forsee very many, and it would be kind of nice to have them individually documented in nsedoc, so I like shortport.http a bit better.
I just committed this function and made the HTTP scripts use it: --- -- A portrule that matches likely HTTP services. -- -- @name http -- @class function -- @param host The host table to match against. -- @param port The port table to match against. -- @return <code>true</code> if the port is likely to be HTTP, -- <code>false</code> otherwise. -- @usage -- portrule = shortport.http http = shortport.port_or_service({80, 443, 631, 3872, 8080}, {"http", "https", "ipp", "http-alt", "oem-agent"}) Suggestions for adding to the port or service lists are welcome.
