Great! thanks for notifying me, I'm will take care of these options to be added to this role too.
But could you help me understand more about it?
What I see now about it:
Since v0.6.0, Burp-UI supports WebSockets for better/smarter notifications. In order to use this feature, you need some extra requirements:
What better/smarter notifications means? Does it help in burp-ui internals? or in the burp-ui webpage?
Looks very recommended to be enabled by default right?
Hi Pablo,
When I release v0.6.0, I don't think websockets will bring a lot of exciting features.
Right now it only allows the blinking "backup running" notification to be smarter (ie. the client does not have to refresh the page every X seconds. If websockets are not enabled it will fallback to a javascript auto-refresh like before).
In the future, websockets will allow a real notification system. For instance, you will be able to launch a restoration, then leave the page to check whatever you want and then when the archive is ready you'll have a popup or something telling you your download is available.
Another feature I'm thinking about is to force the refresh of the interface of all the connected users whenever you add a new client.
But right now websockets don't do much things ;-)
