HTTP Observatory: a command line tool to scan your website

Project description

This repository is for the HTTP Observatory command line utility. If you’re looking for the code for the HTTP Observatory itself, it can be found here.

Getting started with the HTTP Observatory

First, install the client:

$ pip install httpobs-cli

And then scan websites to your heart’s content, using our hosted service:
