I pushed a possible fix. Try fix_75 branch. I need feedback to fixing this problem

git clone https://github.com/maurosoria/dirsearch -b fix_75

Thanks

Thank you for your response.

Applying that fix I get the following error:

I had same error. On branch fix_75 there is:

I've just pushed a possible patch for that bug. I can't reproduce the error, so I'm not sure it will work...

[zerodaykb]

It works. :)

[maurosoria]

Finally ! :)
