[W3af-users] authentication not being performed

[Ali K. <ali...@gm...>]

Hi Andres,

I've tried performing an authenticated web scan, but i noticed that the
URLs are being crawled.

I ran tcpdump to check, and discovered that the authentication is not
taking place at all.



This is my w3af script with the authentication test:
