This PR adds the
-cwu
/-chrome-ws-url
flag to allow katana to connect to a running Chrome instance instead of launching a new one. This allows for authenticated spidering by reusing a browser session where you're already logged in on a website.For testing, you can launch chrome with the
--debug-devtools
and--remote-debugging-port
flags, e.g. on macOS:This will give a debugging URL which can be used with the
-cwu
flag in katana:Running this should show katana using the existing browser session.
