httprobe: Probe a list of domains from a text file.
$ cat ${input_file} | httprobe
try on your machine
This command combines two commands together using a pipe |
.
-
cat ${input_file}
: This command uses thecat
command to output the contents of the file specified by the${input_file}
variable. Thecat
command is used to display the contents of text files. -
httprobe
: This is a separate command that takes input from the previouscat
command using the pipe|
.httprobe
is a tool used for quickly testing a list of HTTP and HTTPS URLs to see if they are live or accessible.
So, the entire command cat ${input_file} | httprobe
reads the contents of the file specified by ${input_file}
and feeds it as input to the httprobe
command. This allows httprobe
to test each URL in the file to determine if they are live or reachable over HTTP(S).
