How to intercept local server web requests using Burp in Internet Explorer


I have properly configured Burp to intercept at a proxy location at

  • 127.0.0.1:9090

My Internet Explorer proxy settings are as follows:

Internet Options -> Connections -> Proxy Settings

Also I have a webserver named WebGoat running in http://localhost:8080/WebGoat/

All the requests are not being intercepted by Burp, in any way.

What Should I do?


Solution

  • Try adding a '.' after "localhost". This should solve your problem.

    eg.

    http://localhost.:8080/WebGoat/
    

    This will force the localhost to use the same proxy settings as one would with an internet connection/adapter.
