Comment (by JoeGermuska):

 @swissspidy thanks for that link. I spent a lot of time searching and I
 had a lot of trouble finding anything like that, but we'll take a look at
 it.

 Auto-discovery is challenging for two of the three tools because, by
 circumstances of history, the same HTML page uses URL parameters to serves
 all renderings. We can only support discovery if the agents evaluate
 javascript on the page. We're evaluating re-engineering that, but aren't
 ready to commit the energy to that change just yet.

 Also, for the one of the three where we render custom HTML for each
 project and can support auto-discovery, we've actually stumbled into a
 CORS problems with the security treatment -- the origin is sent as `null`.
 That's not your problem, of course, but if anyone reading this has
 pointers, I'm open to them.

 More after I do my homework.
