How do I get the referrer or spider links

/H | Last updated: May 27, 2015 11:53AM UTC

Hi, I see that the spider has a referrer header option, however when I look at the sitemap, there are no referrers. Is there anyway to get the URLs with the referrer from sitemap that were spidered?

If you have the option enabled to use the Referer header, and Burp is not adding the header into Spider-generated requests, then that is a bug. We'll investigate and try to reproduce this behavior. If you want to find the origin page that referred a particular request, then you could use the "Find references" option on the context menu, to locate items that link to the selected request.

There isn't an API for finding references to an item, sorry.

Hi there, thanks for your prompt response. Ah yes I was trying to find the origin page that referred a particular request. I was under the impression that the sitemap that was crawled by the spider would show the referrer header, but Find references is that I needed. Is there an extender API for Find References?
