# elza(1)

script language for automating HTTP requests

## NAME

elza — script language for automating HTTP requests

## SYNOPSIS

**elza** \[scriptfile\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **elza** is a scripting  language aimed at automating requests on web pages.

Scripts written in **elza** are capable of  mimicking browser behavior almost perfectly, making it extremely difficult   for remote servers to distinguish their activity from the activity   generated by ordinary users and browsers. This gives those scripts the   opportunity to act upon servers that will not respond to requests   generated using netcat, gammaprog, rebol, or similar tool.

This manual page was written for the **Debian GNU/Linux** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

## OPTIONS

- **scriptfile**

  The name and location of your script to be executed by elza.

Variables are specified either in the .elz script, or in elza.def

## AUTHOR
