Request for beta-testers: WebScarab

[Rogan Dawes <discard () dawes za net>]

Hi folks

There is a test-release version of WebScarab available on my personal 
web site.

<http://dawes.za.net/rogan/webscarab/webscarab-one-20060123-0815.jar>

Interesting new features in this version are:

* Comprehensive support for authentication, both Proxy and WWW, 
including Basic Auth, NTLM, and Negotiate (not Kerberos, though)
* Revised client certificate management, supporting multiple client 
certificates, and easy selection of which certificate to use.
* A new plugin contributed by Meder Kydyraliev, which enables WebScarab 
to check if any of the retrieved pages exist with a backup extension 
such as .bak, ~, etc, and if any folders exist as zipped, arjed, tarred, 
etc archives, which may enable the tester to download the entire site.
* WebScarab is distributed using a new packaging technique, replacing 
the "-selfcontained" distribution with a "one-jar" version that can 
simply be run by double-clicking. It is a better solution that avoids 
some of the resource conflicts generated by ProGuard that users have 
reported in the past.

At this point, this is not intended to be an official release. I am 
making this announcement to solicit testers for feedback on the new 
features.

Depending on the feedback received, I will make a formal release through 
sourceforge in a few days time.

On a slightly different note, the CVS repository at SourceForge will 
become more and more outdated. I have moved to a git source control 
repository which can be browsed at http://dawes.za.net/gitweb.cgi, or 
cloned from http://dawes.za.net/webscarab.git/

Feedback welcome, but please unobfuscate my email address before 
replying. It is lists AT dawes.za.net.

Regards,

Rogan
