An errors occurs while scanning a file not detecting about droopescan

hi @masterwireshark

Thanks for filing an issue.

I can definitely explain why this warning message occurs. We generally identify known modules by making an HTTP request to a particular URL at which we presume a module may be present. For example /sites/all/modules/module_name/. Before sending thousands of requests in this manner however, droopescan checks whether the target server is configured to return 404 errors on known folders to avoid wasting time if we know it won't be successful.

In the case of your scan, this condition is true, the target server is configured to return 404 errors on known folders. The scanner then fallbacks to requesting LICENSE.txt, but this file may not be present for all plugins. The warning is issued so that you can be aware there may be potential false negatives in this plugin scan due to this.

Thanks,
Sam
