Timings for Request/Responses

Richard | Last updated: Mar 20, 2015 12:26AM UTC

Burp Extender's getProxyHistory gives you an array of IHttpRequestResponse objects. How do you obtain the time the request was sent and the response was received? IRequestInfo and IResponseInfo don't appear to provide this information either, but the information is available in the proxy history tab.

This information isn't currently available via the API, sorry. When we next update the API in general, we will look into providing this information for all requests and responses.

A revamp of the API is in our roadmap but we don't currently have an ETA, sorry. For the moment, you'll need to calculate your own timings when you issue requests.

+100 This is super useful when you're trying out timing attacks. Invariably otherwise, I have to do lots of column reordering and do the math myself.

When can you update the API in general ? Now I tried to write a plugins for timebased sql injection , But I can't get the time between the request and the response, It's very important!
