description = [[
Checks if the target http server has mod_negotiation enabled.  This
feature can be leveraged to find hidden resources and spider a web
site using fewer requests.

The script works by sending requests for resources like index and home 
without specifying the extension. If mod_negotiate is enabled (default 
Apache configuration), the target would reply with content-location header 
containing target resource (such as index.html) and vary header containing 
"negotiate" depending on the configuration.

    /modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/mod_negotiation_scanner.rb
