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. Here follows a minimal example of how to do it:

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/projectdiscovery/goflags"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/gologger"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/gologger/levels"
	"github.com/projectdiscovery/httpx/runner"
)

func main() {
	gologger.DefaultLogger.SetMaxLevel(levels.LevelVerbose) // increase the verbosity (optional)

	options := runner.Options{
		Methods: "GET",
		InputTargetHost: goflags.StringSlice{"scanme.sh", "projectdiscovery.io"},
		//InputFile: "./targetDomains.txt", // path to file containing the target domains list 
	}

	if err := options.ValidateOptions(); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	httpxRunner, err := runner.New(&options)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer httpxRunner.Close()

	httpxRunner.RunEnumeration()
}

Notes

As default, httpx checks for HTTPS probe and fall-back to HTTP only if HTTPS is not reachable.
The -no-fallback flag can be used to display both HTTP and HTTPS results
Custom scheme for ports can be defined, for example -ports http:443,http:80,https:8443
The following flags should be used for specific use cases instead of running them as default with other probes:
- -favicon,-vhost, -http2, -pipeline, -ports, -csp-probe, -tls-probe, -path
When using the -json flag, all the default probe results are included in the JSON output.
Custom resolver supports multiple protocol (doh|tcp|udp) in form of protocol:resolver:port (e.g. udp:127.0.0.1:53)
Invalid custom resolvers/files are ignored.
