Reports from command-line scan differ from web ui scan

Hello,

When I run a report from the command line from the experimental branch (as of Saturday, June 29), I see what I expect on the Summary/Issues tab. However, my main Issues "tab" contains nothing. When I run the same scan from the Web UI, I see the results on both tabs. Why is this? The Summary/Issues tab does not contain certain important information, remediation guidance, that I would like to have passed on to the application developers.

Thanks,
     Kevin

   Hm, there's probably some HTML in there breaking the "Issues" tab. May I get a copy of the AFR that's causing the issue please?

   Cheers

   Sure. Hopefully you don't mind, but I replaced my test URL and login information. I also included the error log file. I do see an error in there that relates to the report/manager.rb file.

   Great thanks, these should be all I need. Will look into it when I get off work and get back to you.

   I found and fixed a couple of bugs using the files you provided, not 100% sure that they were the ones causing your issues though, you'll have to try the updated nightlies and let me know.

   Cheers for the feedback Kevin.

   It appears that those bugs were not the ones responsible for my issues. I tried both from the nightly build and by building from the experimental branch and still see the same behavior. I appreciate that you looked at this so quickly. Thanks.

   Hm, could you send me the broken HTML report and the AFR for that report? Just those 2.

   The AFR file gets converted to an HTML report just fine and the included HTML report looks OK. The Issues tab lists all issues with their details as usual.

   Tested it with Firefox 22 and Chromium 25. What browser are you using?

    Tasos,

    You are correct. The browser is the problem. I was using Konqueror 4.8.5. The reports do indeed look correct in Firefox and Chromium. I'm sorry that I didn't consider this before.

    Just for the record, Arachni works very well installed on a Samurai WTF 2.0 instance running in VMWare Workstation.

    Thanks for all of your help,
         Kevin

    No worries, at least that's good news. :)
