Problem with IScanIssue getHttpMessages()

Jeremy | Last updated: Aug 06, 2016 12:33AM UTC

I have users reporting issues with an extension that was working fine in 1.6x but is having a problem in 1.7.04 (I did not try with any earlier 1.7x release). The root cause is that the IScanIssue getHttpMessages() method appears to always return an empty array. Is this a known issue? I have a simple extension that can reproduce the problem if you would like to see how I am using the IScanIssue interface. Thank you!

Thanks for this report. We've reproduced a problem with this API. For some issue types/instances, some of the requests/responses within the actual issue are not included in the array that is returned by this method. We haven't seen it always returning an empty array, but you might observe this if all the issues you tested on happened to have the problem. We'll investigate the cause of this and aim to get it fixed in the next update. If you're able to share your extension code that illustrates what you observed, that would also be helpful in making sure we've covered off all cases, thanks.
