Question Does ReverseProxy feature still Prevent XSS and SQLi?

Hi Hugo,

I have a quick question. Does Hiawatha still prevent exploits when you turn on PreventXSS and PreventSQLi and use the ReverseProxy feature?

I am using a Hiawatha as a "gateway" to an application server to prevent exploits against the app server.

I tested a common SQLi attack and the exploit.log file still remained empty.

Thanks!

RG

Hiawatha version: 8.3
Operating System: CentOS 5 x86_64

Hmm, good point. At the moment, it doesn't. I'm thinking about releasing 8.3.1 soon in which this is enabled.

Most of my websites are created with Banshee [www.banshee-php.org], which isn't vulnerable for SQL injections. So, I often forget that Hiawatha has protection against it
