how to fix

@apprahuman I think you shouldn't provide the http:// with the url in the -d flag. According to the README.md it takes just the domain so you should change your command into the following

paramspider -d testphp.vulnweb.com

after do so the output is:

                                      _    __
   ___  ___ ________ ___ _  ___ ___  (_)__/ /__ ____
  / _ \/ _ `/ __/ _ `/  ' \(_-</ _ \/ / _  / -_) __/
 / .__/\_,_/_/  \_,_/_/_/_/___/ .__/_/\_,_/\__/_/
/_/                          /_/

This error is caused because os thinks that the / in http:// is a path and it doesn't seem to exists and so the exception FileNotFoundError gets raised. I think we should add a regex to detect this (http://, https://... and any /) and replace them with an empty string.

I think error out when its tries to save the result and creating folder with forwards slashes.. // .. its try to change the folder location, this happened to me when I was making one tool too, so what I did was changed the forward slashes with dashes "-"

filename=$(echo "$url" | sed 's/\//-/g')

-d expects a domain name and not URL.
