Anyway, if <url> element has responsescript attribute, then flood tries to start whatever this attribute points to. If it's value happens to be valid system executable (say some perl script), then flood sets one way pipe -- it writes response buffer to script standard input. > How does it hook into Flood to provide feedback from response data (or does > it)? This is just one way ticket. The only way script can comunicate with flood is through exit system call. Exit code of 0 means "response is OK, go on with testing", while any other value means "response is bad... let's stop, so we can investigate this in detail". > Do you > have any example scripts that exhibit these properties? I have some, but I won't post them. We are sharing this mailing list with some perl gurus, and they'd probably kill me for how I write perl scripts ;)) Seriously, you just read standard input (STDIN in perl) any way you like, and check response for interesting stuff (header values, HTML body and the like). I'll update the docs with simple example in perl and/or python soon. regards, Jacek Prucia
