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 the login_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
