Reverse Recursive Scan

Open drego85 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

What is the feature?

Following this Issue, I think it is useful to introduce a Reverse Recursive Scan!

What is the use case?

If I scan this url: https://www.example.org/downloads/documents/ dirsearch will automatically scan the previous directories. Example:

  1. https://www.example.org/downloads/documents/
  2. https://www.example.org/downloads/
  3. https://www.example.org/

Thanks

It isn't a good or necessary feature, people can type dirsearch -u https://www.example.org/ --subdir /,downloads,downloads/documents which doesn't take too much time to do

Therefore I'm closing this issue, thank you for your contribution and feel free to submit more ideas!

Really?

Three people have even put a like and is it necessary for you to close the idea/issue? 🤷‍♂️

I understand that you can manually indicate subdirectories, but automatically it would be more rapid!

I want to keep dirsearch options unique, special and really useful, --subdirs was actually made to achieve something you said above. If one day I can enhance dirsearch to UI app, I would add your suggested feature, but since dirsearch is a command-line tool, I want to ignore small and alternative features, which mostly focus on comfort, to focus on bigger things, cause I don't like to see a mess of non-sense features appear in the help message. I can see quite a number of people like this feature, so I will let @maurosoria decide.
