sendToRepeater Fails to Set Tab Caption for First Request

Brian | Last updated: Jan 06, 2017 04:23PM UTC

As the subject states, the first call to IBurpExtenderCallbacks.sendToRepeater() will not rename the numbered tab in the repeater to the last parameter (the tab caption string). Subsequent calls to sendToRepeater do set the tab caption properly, but the first call will not. It is particularly frustrating because Burp insists on having at least one request in the repeater, even if it is empty, so there is always an existing tab in the repeater. Feel free to contact me if any additional info is needed.

Thanks for this. We've reproduced this problem and will investigate the cause of it.

Just to let you know that as of today's release (1.7.16) this issue is fixed, and the first item sent to Repeater via the API will correctly update the tab caption if the initial default tab is used.
