I am looking for a python- script that analyzes the site in order to identify the type of HTTP server being used .

Write a link to any sample.

With the help of the requests plugin, you can easily solve your problem.

import requests r = requests.get('http://vk.com/') print r.headers["server"] // nginx/1.2.4 print r.headers["x-powered-by"] // PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9

Since there is only one HTTP server on the site, it makes no sense to analyze all the pages, one is enough.

    If the server replaces its header, then only the heuristic methods remain, see the answer above about nmap. More often, nginx hides a backend server to generate dynamics (most often it is apache). - dred

Ready, for sure, no.

As an option:

  • nmap will scan the 80th and 443rd ports of the required hosts.
  • curl'om go to different pages of the site and parse from the header field Server.

From python call it through subprocess (or analogs).
