        This plugin uses HTTP content negotiation to find new resources.
        
        The plugin has three distinctive phases:

            - Idenfity if the web has content negotiation enabled.
            - For every resource found by any other plugin, perform a request to find new related
                resources. For example, if another plugin finds "index.php", this plugin will perform a
                request for "/index" with customized headers that will return a list of all files that have
                "index" as the file name.
            - Perform a brute force attack in order to find new resources.
        
        One configurable parameter exists:
            - wordlist: The wordlist to be used in the bruteforce process.
        
        As far as I can tell, the first reference to this technique was written by Stefano Di Paola
        in his blog (http://www.wisec.it/sectou.php?id=4698ebdc59d15).
