Professional 1.2.02
Summary: PortSwigger released Burp Suite Professional 1.2.02 as a stable build on Thursday, 12 February 2009. The release adds a Host header to CONNECT requests when SSL is used with upstream proxies, a header the notes say some content-filtering proxies, notably Webwasher, apparently require.
Key Takeaway: The change targets a specific class of content-filtering proxy, Webwasher, that would otherwise reject SSL traffic through an upstream proxy - a reminder that proxy compatibility, not just scanner logic, can decide whether testing traffic gets through.
