fields passed to it and adds them to the request. Previously it ignored them,
relying on http.get to concatentate the header fields into a string for it.
otherwise there is an assertion failure trying to insert a nil into an output
table in tab.lua. Increase the maximum number of message compression pointers
we will follow in dns.lua from 3 to 10, because Brandon found a server that
used 4..
avoids an infinite recursion bug present in the old decoder. I raised the
number of compression pointers that dns.decStr will follow from 1 to 3 because
I found a server that sent 2.
SCRIPT ENGINE (506.424s): ./scripts/pop3-capabilities.nse against a.b.1.47:995
ended with error: ./scripts/pop3-capabilities.nse:32: bad argument #1 to
'pairs' (table expected, got string)
which happens because pop3.lua returns a string error message instead of a table
of capabilities if it can't connect the socket or obtain a response from a
connected socket.
It now returns nil, err_message in these cases and the documentation now reflects
this - pop3-capabilities.nse silently returns and prints a debug message.
Added a 10s timeout for the socket in pop3.lua capabilities - 30s was a bit much.
Modified http.request() to connect using ssl for the https-alt service.
html-title.nse can now deal with a redirect which changes the url scheme
as long as a port is present in the url and it is the port being scanned.
Now http.request() returns nil if port.protocol is not 'tcp'.
Changed the portrule in html-title.nse to accept only TCP ports.
Fixed a redirect rule in html-title.nse which was comparing the string url.port with
the number port.number - which would always be false.
nmap.receive_bytes functions. It claimed that if you don't get all the
lines/bytes you request before a timeout, then a "TIMEOUT" error happens. In
reality you get back data as long as at least one byte was received before the
timeout. From nsock_readlines:
/* Read up to nlines lines (terminated with \n, which of course
inclues \r\n), or until EOF, or until the timeout, whichever comes
first. Note that NSE_STATUS_SUCCESS will be returned in the case
of EOF or tiemout if at least 1 char has been read. Also note that
you may get more than 'nlines' back -- we just stop once "at least"
'nlines' is read */
