How is GSA identifying

When I import via Global Site List and the system scans the platform how is it recognising the platform type? Is it through the footprints in the ini? I ask as I have my own list with alot of exisiting user id's in the urls - so should this be trimmed to last folder, to the root or somewhere in between.

TIA

    Usually the footprints are on every page. So it wouldn't mattr what page you import.

    GSA scans the source code of the internet sites. If it finds a phrase/code/etc. that fits to "page must have=" in the ini-file of that engine, than it sorts the engine in accordingly.

    Footprints ("search term=") are to find new targets but could also be used as identificators for "page must have=".

    You don't have to trim your urls as GSA will recognise the site and move on to the registration site from there.
