Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

mcdetect - catch mixed content issues in the wild

NPM version

mcdetect is a tool that detects mixed content issues with certainty.

mcdetect demo

Motivation

Tools used to catch mixed content issues often rely on parsing the DOM to determine if insecure content will be loaded in a specific page. Consequently they may report false negatives since not all such issues can be detected statically.

mcdetect can determine with absolute certainty if any mixed content errors or warnings actually occur on a page. It does this by visiting the pages and evaluating their Javascript like a regular browser would do. In other words, it does not report false negatives.

It does this by leveraging Headless Chrome that shipped with Chrome 59 and the DevTools Protocol.

Requirements

  • Node 7.6.0 or later

Installation

$ npm install -g mcdetect

Usage

Checking a single target page:

$ mcdetect https://example.com https://google.com

Checking multiple targets (if no protocol is specified, it is assumed to be "https://"):

$ mcdetect example.com google.com

Multiple targets can also be given via a config file:

$ cat my_urls.json
{
  "targets": [
    "googlesamples.github.io/web-fundamentals/fundamentals/security/prevent-mixed-content/xmlhttprequest-example.html",
    "googlesamples.github.io/web-fundamentals/fundamentals/security/prevent-mixed-content/passive-mixed-content.html"
  ]
}

$ mcdetect --config my_urls.json

For more usage examples and options see mcdetect --help.

TODO

  • Add scraping mode (with max depth)
  • More output formats (eg. json, csv, pdf)
  • error handling (modes: exit on error, ignore errors, report errors)
  • interactive mode
  • follow redirects
  • read targets from stdin
