Goal: As a user of the Site Scanning Data, I'd like a bit more information in the Data Dictionary to better understand what some of the values mean.

For example, the redirect field seems to have one of three values [TRUE, FALSE, <Blank>] - T|F seem fairly self-explanatory but I was hoping for more information on <Blank> - e.g. does it mean the site didn't respond, or wasn't scanning for some other reason(s)?

I realize updating this is on (your roadmap)[https://github.com/GSA/site-scanning-documentation/blob/main/about/about-the-program.md]).

Tasks:

  1. Select some key 'flag fields'
  2. Identify potential values (e.g. one of these three values)
  3. Articulate what the flags might mean

Acceptance Criteria:

  • For the redirect field what do TRUE, FALSE, and <Blank> values mean?
  • Update the Data Dictionary with another column (similar to data type and queryable with potential values and what they mean.
  • Potentially articulate some more details on how the values are set - e.g. I tried scanning domain names and got some different results Re: Redirects (or unavailable) - I suspect it's because my user agent (or IP) was different and the site-scanning tool may be seeing a different representation than the public
