Hi<br>For all those application testers out there that use PAROS Proxy who are as lazy as me....<br><br>I thought I would share a tip on how I set Paros to automatically remove hidden field tags in PAROS<br>(also usable on other proxies)
<br><br>in tools, filter menu<br>set the http body response checkbox<br>and set the search pattern to be<br><br><br>type\s*=\s*["']?hidden["']?<br><br>no need to set the replace field<br><br>now browse a web page with hidden fields
<br><br>I must admit I rely on the above so much that I am not sure if it misses any hidden tags<br>I suppose I could compare it with a find all 'hidden' words and compare body response....<br><br>My wish list for PAROS would be
<br><ul><li>allow multiple filters per http section<br></li><li>save the above filters so that I do not need to enter it every time I use PAROS</li><li>manually set user agent rather than use PAROS drop down (google bot goes to places I can not) and it gets annoying setting the http request header filters as well
</li></ul>Anybody have any other techniques they would like to share on PAROS or other proxy??<br> <br>I would definitely like a RELIABLE way to convert html select statements to input statments - another regex along the lines of
<br>this perl regex (probably useless on scripted select controls that many pages create on the fly)<br><br>/<select[^>]*?(name\s*=\s*["']?([^"'\s]+)["']?\s+).*?<\/select>/$2<input $1>/ims
<br><br><br><br>TIA & Rgds<br>Richard<br><br><br>
