I'm on the v0.5 branch and I'm scanning backbone.js applications with no results from the spider. Is there a way to pass options/delay to the spider so it waits for the backbone.js app to boot?

Thanks!

    That branch only contains a proof-of-concept implementation of full browser analysis. Even calling that codebase "experimental" would be wildly generous.

    Development on that branch has been continued in private because of the massive and incompatible rewrites, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the proper v0.5 release to scan JS-heavy web apps.

    Cheers

    By the way, I did a quick check and Coursera does indeed pose an issue. It's as if JS is disabled, the browser does not evaluate the page.

    Is there some more information you can give me on the matter?

    Coursera has some steep browser requirements (requires all the latest) so that could explain it, would it be possible to send me the URL of the particular webapp that interests you so that I can ensure that it is supported?

    Thanks
