Crawl Settings: Link Parsing
To access this feature, click the Edit menu and select Default Scan Settings or Current Scan Settings. Then, in the Crawl Settings category, select Link Parsing.
Fortify WebInspect follows all hyperlinks defined by HTML (using the <a href> tag) and those defined by scripts (JavaScript and VBScript). However, you may encounter other communications protocols that use a different syntax for specifying links. To accommodate this possibility, you can use the Custom Links feature and regular expressions to identify links that you want Fortify WebInspect to follow. These are called special link identifiers.
Adding a Specialized Link Identifier
To add a specialized link identifier:
-
Click Add.
The Specialized Link Entry window opens.
-
In the Specialized Link Pattern box, enter a regular expression designed to identify the link.
-
(Optional) Enter a description of the link in the Comment box.
-
Click OK.
