Port scanning with Javascript

The index.html shows how it can be used. Further notes about the implementation can be found in portscanner.js (use the source, Luke).

The portscanning function is taken from http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/javascript-port-scanner/ written by Petko Petkov.

The check is based on the fact that loading an image from a blocked host and port do not return. You can try this with e.g.

curl -v --connect-timeout 10 http://github.com:8080

This will block for 10 seconds.
This check does not work for localhost because

curl -v --connect-timeout 10 http://localhost:8000

returns immediately with a Failed to connect to localhost port 8000.

It needs jquery.

The preview of the index.html is not working anymore, don't know why and I will not investigate: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.github.com/aabeling/portscan/master/index.html

localhost

hello,
on remote host:port it works, but i wasn't able to use on localhost or 127.0.0.1
i had try with:

    <tr>
      <td>localhost:15555</td>
      <td><span class="portscanner">localhost:15555</span></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>localhost:80</td>
      <td><span class="portscanner">localhost:80</span></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>127.0.0.1:15555</td>
      <td><span class="portscanner">127.0.0.1:15555</span></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>127.0.0.1:80</td>
      <td><span class="portscanner">127.0.0.1:80</span></td>
    </tr>

it return back always as open port (yes, i have the 80 port open, but not the 15555), there is a way to check localhost?
