[https://docs.projectdiscovery.io/tools/httpx/running](https://docs.projectdiscovery.io/tools/httpx/running). ### Using `httpx` as a library `httpx` can be used as a library by creating an instance of the `Option` struct and populating it with the same options that would be specified via CLI. Once validated, the struct should be passed to a runner instance (to be closed at the end of the program) and the `RunEnumeration` method should be called. A minimal example of how to do it is in the [examples](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/httpx/blob/main/examples) folder # Notes - As default, `httpx` probe with **HTTPS** scheme and fall-back to **HTTP** only if **HTTPS** is not reachable. - The `-no-fallback` flag can be used to probe and display both **HTTP** and **HTTPS** result. - Custom scheme for ports can be defined, for example `-ports http:443,http:80,https:8443` - Custom resolver supports multiple protocol ( **doh|tcp|udp** ) in form of `protocol:resolver:port` (e.g. `udp:127.0.0.1:53`) - The following flags should be used for specific use cases instead of running them as default with other probes: - `-ports` - `-path` - `-vhost` - `-screenshot` - `-csp-probe` - `-tls-probe` - `-favicon` - `-http2` - `-pipeline` - `-tls-impersonate` # Acknowledgement Probing feature is inspired by [@tomnomnom/httprobe](https://github.com/tomnomnom/httprobe) work ❤ ## GitHub: [https://github.com/projectdiscovery/httpx](https://github.com/projectdiscovery/httpx)
