And we would have to do the actual scanning too (possibly just to the point of rule evaluation for #3).It is conceivable that this could also be 'shortcutted', so that the user specifies service/port from the command line. Something like: nmap -p80,8080 --script=all --script-help service='http' ==> nmap 'pretends' to have found open port 80,8080 and 'http'
I think that might be too complicated for most users. If there is one part of Nmap we should try to make simple, it is the help system :). Also, some script rules depend on version detection results or other information you wouldn't get even with the -p and service arguments above. I think I prefer the "--script-help [argument]" syntax, taking the same arguments as --script can. Users could get basically the results above from "--script-help http-*'.
