Is regex not working for filters?

Sankaranarayanan | Last updated: Feb 25, 2021 07:33PM UTC

In am trying to use regex to filter target scopes. I have used it multiple times before successfully, but for the last two days I am having some trouble. These are the steps I usually follow: 1. Go to Target->Scope 2. Select "Use advanced scope control" 3. Add entry in include in scope 4. Go to proxy options 5. Make sure "Intercept Client Requests" and "Intercept Server Responses" are selected 6. Select rule: And URL is in target scope for both client requests and sever responses Say my website is abc.com. If I undo (6), going to abc.com, the request is intercepted. Ok. If in (3), I add abc.com directly, the request is intercepted. That's good. If in (3), I add ^abc\.com$, the request is not intercepted. Why is this?

never mind it works now. not sure what was wrong. but it suddenly worked. And I am aware of the type above which should be ^.*abc\.com$
