webspider is the only discovery plugin I am using.

You are right it does appear to ignore it if it is just a normal link. It looks 
like the issue is when I want to ignore what is in the action=xxxxx.xxx for a 
page.

I have a home page with two forms (both generate emails that I would like to 
skip).

One has action="req_signup01.php"
The other has action="distemailhandler.php"

The webspider ignoreRegex has .*req_signup01[.]php |.*distemailhandler[.]php

However, both are checked and end up in the fuzzable list.

It also looks like if the action= goes to different server(s), it also gets 
acted upon. I suppose I could/should include the external server references in 
ignoreRegex once it works for action= references?

I used the following to run w3af:

misc-settings
    set maxDiscoveryTime 1200
    set maxThreads 0
# maxDepth not in rc3 1.1 3460
#    set maxDepth 25
    set exportFuzzableRequests FuzzableRequests.csv
    set fuzzFormComboValues t
#    set fuzzFileContent False
    back
#plugins
#    audit sqli, xss
#    audit config xss
#        set numberOfChecks 3
#        back
#    back
plugins
    output htmlFile, textFile, console, xmlFile
    back
plugins
    discovery webSpider
    discovery config webSpider
        set onlyForward True
        set ignoreRegex 
(?i).*[.](pdf|doc|ram|mp3|mov|ppt|gif|jpg|png|ico)|.*75[rs]/senate/archive|.*75[rs]/senate/members/dist[0-9]*/pr|.*req_inv[.]php|.*req_svc[.]php|.*req_survey01[.]php|.*req_survey02[.]php|.*survey001[.]php|.*survey002[.]php|.*req_signup01[.]php|.*C820handler[.]php|.*distemailhandler[.]php|.*distemailhandler2[.]php|.*FHdists[.]php|.*FHwebadmin[.]php|.*harrisQhandler[.]php|.*ltgovhandler[.]php|.*NLhandler[.]php|.*QH090001[.]php|.*QH120001[.]php|.*QH230001[.]php|.*QH230002[.]php|.*SRChandler[.]php|.*webadminhandler[.]php|.*adminform[.]php
        back
    back

    set target

    set targetOS windows
    back

Thanks,

    hmmm, wierd... are you ONLY enabling the webSpider plugin?

    I just tested the ignoreRegex feature in a test webapp I have, and
it's working for me. Could you please send me this information? :

- list of enabled plugins
- parameters for those plugins
- global parameters (if any were changed from defaults)

    Ok, that looks good.
