I don't understand why URLs that should be excluded from the crawl do time-out

./arachni --audit-link --audit-cookies --audit-headers --audit-forms --link-count=1111 --exclude='jpg|mp4|js|css' --exclude-binaries --http-timeout=22000 --modules=trainer,os_cmd_injection,code_injection,sqli --debug 'http://www.evoca.ch/index.php?page='

   You forgot to put "bmp" in your --exclude filter, the reason it crawled first and then ignored it is due to the --exclude-binaries option, which only takes effect after the response has arrived as that's the only way to determine if a resource is binary or not.

   Forgot to address the time-out issue, looking into that.

   Looks to be coincidence, it doesn't happen with all excluded resources, just a timed-out response here and there.

   Yeah works alright, got confused by --exclude-binaries but got it now.
