[Installation]
If you have installed the old version on or after 3.2.4, you can directly install this new version. If you are using version prior to 3.2.4, you should uninstall the old version first. Default installation will use a maximum VM size of 64M. For large application testing, you may adjust it depending on your need and the memory you have (eg 128M)
[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 spidering, proxy-chaining, filtering and application vulnerability scanning.

[Details/new features]
New
- Use newest external library for HTTP handling.
- enable/disable spider to POST forms in options panel to avoid generating unwanted traffic (default to enable). This is requested by many users.
- Decrease the number of possible combinations crawled by spider on forms with multiple SELECT/OPTIONS. This make crawling less resource consuming and lower chance to affect application being scanned.
- Minor UI changes.
Fix
- Fallback database library to previous version as in Paros 3.2.10 because of a problem with hsqldb where some byte combination may consume 100% cpu time.
- Increase width of method display in history to cater for other longer method names.
- Default file scans may display incorrect HTTP message body if the original message is a POST request.
