Greetings: I am trying to use FSCrawler to crawl a remote site over https. Does anyone know if this is even possible? I've read the docs and tried doing it over SSH butI get the "Error while crawling [https://myserver.pages.com/pages/pages:](https://myserver.pages.com/pages/pages:) [https://myserver.pages.com/pages/pages](https://myserver.pages.com/pages/pages) doesn't exists." We are trying to crawl some pages that exist on a public github repository. ---

FSCrawler has not been designed to crawl a website. `https` is not `ssh` protocol. You might want to explore other solutions: - [https://github.com/infinitbyte/gopa](https://github.com/infinitbyte/gopa) - [https://www.elastic.co/products/site-search](https://www.elastic.co/products/site-search) (SaaS) ---
