Enable Page Refer in HTTP Header

When enabled, all HTTP communications will carry a "Refer" value in HTTP Header. This value is the previous resource that refers the current resource (some applications require that value to be set).

Enable HTTP Session Handling

When enabled, all HTTP cookies will be stored and preserved in N-Stalker's session management storage. It is safe to keep this option enabled (few applications will not require session handling).

Discover Server-side technologies and development framework

When enabled, N-Stalker will attempt to discover what kind of server technologies are being used (PHP, ASP.NET, J2EE, etc) in order to adjust security checks to those platforms.

Search web links using multiple protocols within same host

When enabled, N-Stalker will not make differentiation between HTTP and HTTP/S communication within the same host (e.g: http://sample.com and  https://sample.com will be both crawled and tested).

Disable Web Spider Cache

When enabled, N-Stalker will not cache web pages in local disk (saving disk resources but reducing general performance).

HTTP User Agent

This option allows you to choose the "User-Agent" (as well as known as the browser identity) in all HTTP communication. Default choice is a common market browser.

Enable HTTP Keep-Alive (HTTP/1.1)

When enabled, N-Stalker will use HTTP protocol version 1.1 and its default keep-alive behavior. In the bottom line, this will enhance performance as connection will become persistent for many requests. Some old web servers might not support that option.

Enable HTTP Compression

When enabled, N-Stalker will use HTTP compression (when supported by the server) to enhance performance and reduce bandwidth consumption.

HTTP Timeout

HTTP communication timeout (TCP timeout)

Timeout Errors

Number of HTTP timeout attempts until giving up a request (TCP timeout)

Reset Errors

Number of HTTP reset attempts until giving up a request (TCP reset)

Response Size

This is the maximum acceptable server's response size. N-Stalker will truncate responses above the specified size. Default value is usually acceptable for most cases (500KB).
