description = [[
Spiders a website and attempts to identify output escaping problems
where content is reflected back to the user.  This script locates all
parameters, ?x=foo&y=bar and checks if the values are reflected on the
page. If they are indeed reflected, the script will try to insert
ghz>hzx"zxc'xcv and check which (if any) characters were reflected
back onto the page without proper html escaping.  This is an
indication of potential XSS vulnerability.

-- @args http-unsafe-output-escaping.maxdepth the maximum amount of directories beneath
--       the initial url to spider. A negative value disables the limit.
--       (default: 3)
-- @args http-unsafe-output-escaping.maxpagecount the maximum amount of pages to visit.
--       A negative value disables the limit (default: 20)
-- @args http-unsafe-output-escaping.url the url to start spidering. This is a URL
--       relative to the scanned host eg. /default.html (default: /)
-- @args http-unsafe-output-escaping.withinhost only spider URLs within the same host.
--       (default: true)
-- @args http-unsafe-output-escaping.withindomain only spider URLs within the same
--       domain. This widens the scope from <code>withinhost</code> and can
--       not be used in combination. (default: false)
