Query parameters

check_fullpathstring

If true, validates and raises an error if the target's URL contains any query strings or paths that restrict the scope of the target scan.
For example, it raises an error for a URL like https://example.com/admin since it restricts the target scans to only what is under admin. The URL would have to be https://example.com to cover the whole scope. Then, you can add or restrict specific areas to be scanned under the target's scope (using site.whitelist and site.blacklist respectively).
If false or not defined, no validation is done.

duplicate_checkstring

If true, validates and raises an error if there is already another target using the same URL.
If false or not defined, no validation is done.

skip_fullpath_warningstring

If true, ignores warnings issued when check_fullpath is true.
If false or not defined, warnings are taken into account.

skip_reachability_checkstring

If false or not defined, makes a request to the target to try reach it and raises an error if it fails.
If true, skips this validation.

skip_redirect_checkstring

If false or not defined, validates and raises an error if the target's URL is redirected.
If true, skips this validation (if there aren't more than 6 redirects).
