Scanning a domain where homepage has an error fails scan sanity checks about typo3scan

[whoot]

If I understood your issue correctly, the tool just says "It seems that Typo3 is not used on this domain", but you know that Typo3 is used, because it is in the footer of the 503 page, right?

I really appreciate that you tried to debug it yourself.
The tool checks in various ways if Typo3 is used on the domain.

1. check_root -> will search for some typical Typo3 strings (powered by TYPO3) on the root page of the URL
2. check_404 -> requests a random directory to provoke an error message and checks for "TYPO3 CMS" in the response. The HTTP status code doesnt matter, because the HTML text is checked.

If both checks fail, the tools assumes that Typo3 is not used on the domain.
Its hard to debug this without any information about the web page and what the responses look like, but I would recommend to simply check what response you get from the webapplication in both methods (just add print(response['html']) and see where and why it fails to recognize the Typo3 strings.

@jason-hoerner Did you manage to fix the issue? And if so, was it a bug in Typo3Scan?
