|
|
|
Will download all CSAF documents for the given _domains_, by trying each as a CSAF provider.
|
|
|
|
If a _domain_ starts with `https://` it is instead considered a direct URL to the `provider-metadata.json` and downloading procedes from there.
|
|
|
|
Increasing the number of workers opens more connections to the web servers
|
|
to download more advisories at once. This may improve the overall speed of the download.
|
|
However, since this also increases the load on the servers, their administrators could
|
|
have taken countermeasures to limit this.
