Check localhost instead of my defined hostname

[PayamVA]

Hi folks,

I used the example you made for the docker:

docker run -ti --rm -v pwd:/data --rm wafbench ftw_compatible_tool -d /data/regression.db -x "load util/regression-test/crs-v3.1/black-box/ | gen | start hostname:port| report | exit"

I changed hostname:port to www.mywebsite.com:443 or www.mywebsite.com:80 but it still check my localhost ( I guess the default value from the regression-test)!

Examples:

docker run -ti --rm -v pwd:/data --rm wafbench ftw_compatible_tool -d /data/regression.db -x "load util/regression-test/crs-v3.1/black-box/ | gen | start www.mywebsite.com:443| report | exit"

OR

docker run -ti --rm -v pwd:/data --rm wafbench ftw_compatible_tool -d /data/regression.db -x "load util/regression-test/crs-v3.1/black-box/ | gen | start www.mywebsite.com:80| report | exit"

Can you please advise what should be done?

Note: I fixed the issue by changing the original files in WAFBench/util/regression-test, I converted all dest_addr and port to my host name and port number.

Hi Payam,

Sorry for too late response.
Yes, you are right, the hostname:localhost and port:80 were hard coded into the regression-test. Because if the target machine was behind a proxy and we cannot know what is the real hostname. We also need to modify the original files in regression-test in our scenario.
We provided a simple script, https://github.com/microsoft/WAFBench/blob/master/tools/hostname_port_modifier.sh, to do what you want.

But thanks for your issue, I will polish our Readme to make it clearer.
