scripts commonly use. I added the field to some modules I know to be under the
Nmap license: bin, datafiles, dns, nmap, unpwdb. I left alone bin, bit, pcre,
and url, which come from outside sources.
http, ipOps, listop, and match. This is mainly merging the best documentation
from the module source and scripting.xml into the module, with the aim of
making the source code the canonical source for module documentation.
It is unnecessary to prefer targetname over the ip in the request()
function since host is only passed to socket:connect() which would have to
resolve the targetname back to the ip.
I've rewritten the header/body separation to use a single regex which
should do the same as your code and since the first match is non-greedy
should always prefer the shorter version.
I've done something similar for the header splitting.
I've removed the type checks for header and body since they are always
strings.

Also added Win2K dependencies section to nmap-install (I should have
done a separate checkin for that)
line, since this can differ from the reverse DNS results. It can be
particularly important when doing HTTP tests against virtual hosts.
The data can be accessed from target->HostName() from Nmap proper
and host.targetname from NSE scripts. The NSE HTTP library now uses
this for the Host header. Thanks to Sven Klemm for adding this
useful feature.
