General use case for proxy with single page application
Hello Arachni support team
Thank you for the wonderful product, I just start using it and
wondering if there's any documentation on how to use the proxy and
capture the authentication and start crawling the single page
application?
I setup the proxy and start the start the scan, but when I go to the site and login, the scanner didn't capture the traffic, and just paused and waiting for workload. How would you suggest on setting up the scanner for using a proxy?
here is our application: https://secure.ebrevia.com
Thank you

Hello,
The proxy is generally useless for single-page applications since most of the action happens client-side.
The best way to authenticate would be to use either the
autologin
plugin, or if that doesn't work for you then thelogin_script
one.You can find information for both at: http://support.arachni-scanner.com/kb/general-use/logging-in-and-ma...
Cheers

Hello Tasos
Thank you for the reply, I am using proxy primary to test our API backend, I am able to generate the site map report using the proxy setting, do you have documentation on how to test the backend api using the sitemap and cookie?
Thank you
