Saving HttpRequestResponse to file

JP | Last updated: Oct 30, 2018 09:03PM UTC

I noticed that there's a method called saveBuffersToTempFiles() that says that it allows saving of HttpRequestResponse objects to a file. Is there anymore information on how to use this? I haven't been able to successfully use it. Is there an alternative way to save the state of extensions using this method or a less hacky way without using addToSiteMap()? https://portswigger.net/burp/extender/api/burp/IBurpExtenderCallbacks.html#saveBuffersToTempFiles(burp.IHttpRequestResponse)

What trouble are you having using it? It should transparently save the request and response into a project file, and it works for me.

I'm using the method, but I don't see the temporary file that gets made. Or do I manually have to write to a file?

I'm also wondering if the data can be stored into a DB for later usage and can be used to load up data between sessions.

The temp file is in the user's temp directory. It sounds like you want to manually write it to a file. There are a few extensions that save requests/responses to databases, including Elastic Burp and Log Requests to SQLite
