Clear spider's url cache on new session #57

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Spider a website
2. Start a new session

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Would it be possible to get an option to clear it or something of that sort? 
It's a lot easier to just select all the text instead of having to distinguish 
it when testing multiple sites. Eventually it gets too big, and I just end up 
restarting the program.

I thought I set it up to clear each time it was run, so yes thats a bug.
I'm actually in 2 minds about the spider - whether to keep fixing it or to 
replace it.
I dont think its as effective as it should be, and I'd rather use a 3rd party 
spider like Heritrix.
Views anyone?

Well seeing as I don't really know the state of the codebase, it seems to me 
like there's only a few things that really need to be improved, so it might be 
easier to just fix those as opposed to moving to a whole new spidering system. 
I'm checking out heritrix though, so I'll let you know what I think about it!

Alright, nevermind. This spider is totally awesome. It looks very very VERY 
flexible, and it would be simple enough to come up with your own XML output 
that it can then read and go from there.

Or someone can define a custom crawl using the web front-end and use that 
within ZAP or something of that sort.

Nice find!

Identified the place in the code which needs to clear the results when a new 
session is opened.
But I've made some other changes to the file as well so I cant check it in 
until those are tidied up ;)
