Web application testing tip
Full credits go to my colleague w0ndrboi for this tip.
When using an interception proxy like Paros or Burp and you want to trap/log the interaction with one (or limited) number of addresses, you can create or modify a custom PAC file. You configure the PAC file to tell the browser to only use your interception proxy when browsing your target sites. You then configure your brower's "Automatic proxy configuration URL" to point to the location of the PAC file. Very nifty!
