CMS detection
Using the service of whatcms.org returns information about the system
CMScensus (based on TYPO3 CMS) sends requests to the API of whatcms.org using a given website url within an schedule and on demand. Whatcms.org detects the website and analyzes the given server header and content information. This results in information about the cms, its version, the database, programming language and webserver as well. As the response a result array in JSON format will return to CMScensus, which saves the data and draws the information in different diagrams. Information will be refreshed in a recurring way.
