Objective: create an algorithm that identifies the version of a remote M2 install, by examining at most 5 URIs (limited as to not overload the remote server).
Background: I created a somewhat optimal set of fingerprints for Magento 1. However, for M2 there are fewer unique characteristics. I suspect that combining multiple fingerprints will yield better results. But how to establish the optimal set of fingerprint combinations?
Use a list of 234 static files that have different checksums for different M2 versions.
