('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Paros v3.1.3 is now available at http://www.proofsecure.com/download.htm

[Brief Introduction]
Paros is a man-in-the-middle proxy and application vulnerability scanner. It allows users to intercept, modify and debug HTTP and HTTPS data on-the-fly between web server and client browser. It also supports client-certificate, proxy-chaining, filtering and various vulnerability scanning.

[License]
- Clarified Artistic License (open source and GPL-compatible license)

[New features]
- Allow to run the scanner on a paticular request shown in the lower URL list (select the request on the URL list, right-click and choose 'Scan Selected Node/Item')

- Allow to re-send a paticular request shown in the lower URL list (select the request on the URL list, right-click and choose 'Re-send'). Check the correctness of the information such as the port before sending it out.

- Allow to craft a request by clicking the menu "Tools" => "Send HTTP(S) Requests"

- In the filter DetectUnsafeContent, add new IE vulnerability check, and improve ms-its checks and speed of other checks .

[Bug Fixes]
- Fix a problem in handling the wildcard '*' when using IP addresses like a.b.* for bypassing the proxy

[Remarks]
A few nice guys has kindly sent us some modified code to enhance the Paros proxy. However, as we are too busy with some other stuffs currently, we don't have time to review the code and integrate it in Paros for this release. Really sorry about that.
