Hi,

I am trying to test our web application for security, but whenever I enter the url into the manual explore option and hit launch browser on OWASP ZAP,  the web browser is unable to open the page. The page opens fine when I am not launching a browser through OWASP ZAP. I believe this may be because our website is on https and the get requests that ZAP is sending are all to http. It keeps saying 308 permanent redirect. Does anyone know why this maybe happening or how I can get around this issue?

Thank you.

Hiya,

No, I've not seen this specific problem before.
First of all disable the HUD (if you have it enabled) - its great when it works but if things arent working then it will only confuse things.
Does it work now?

Cheers,

Simon

Hi,

Yes it works now, which is strange because I tried with HUD disabled yesterday as well and it didn't seem to make a difference then. Either way, it works now. Thank you for your help it's much appreciated. Hope you have a lovely day.
