Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I see fewer hops than curl?
- Browser and server policies differ: some chains require cookies, POST bodies, or geographic routing. Compare with curl -IL when isolating backend behavior.
- Can I use this on arbitrary sites?
- Only test URLs you are allowed to probe. Aggressive automated following may violate terms of service or trigger blocking.
