Hey Andres, 

I've been reading over the plugin descriptions.  Under the Discovery Plugins, 
the urlfuzzer may have a bit of problem due to the assumption that anything not 
a 404 will be a new url. When I was doing a manual test on a site (not using 
w3af), I noticed that my guessing of urls based on looking for old and bak 
filenames returned responses that weren't 404. Howver they didn't really exist. 
They actually returned a 302, and set of custom error pages, including just a 
blank body with the site's header bar.  In view of that, maybe a 302 response 
should be treated as equivalent to a 404, or the tester may be prompted to 
include the particular page as a "false postive" page?
