Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Been making something to bruteforce filetypes on a website, and check if the page exists or not. Now some of the status codes im getting are incorrect, because the file exists on the site. How do i fix this issue?

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

Required for a CTF I've been doing

It's always a tough call, but our general policy is to stay on the safe side by considering only malicious potential, regardless of your stated use-case

I know it's not great to hear, I'm sorry. But I'll have to close this thread, and ask that you refrain from asking for help with this in future
