lack of "/" in InsertionPoint

Egnnaro | Last updated: Jun 28, 2016 05:22PM UTC

Hi, Burp Support Team I am trying to write an extension to improve activeScan. But I encountered a problem. When I sent http://example.com/test to activeScan, my extension can receive insertionPoint of type 0x25(INS_URL_PATH_FILENAME) and it's value is "test". But When I sent http://example.com/ to activeScan, my extension can not receive insertionPoint of type 0x25(INS_URL_PATH_FILENAME). How can I resolve this? Thanks : )

This doesn't sound like a problem, or anythiing that you need to "resolve". Burp Scanner creates various insertion points based on the contents of the request. The insertion point you mentioned is created around the final filename part of the URL, after the last "folder" in the URL path. If there isn't a filename after the last folder (as in this case) the insertion point isn't created.
