AJAX and Web application scanners

[rajeshdilli () yahoo com]

Hi,

          I've been recently going around the web for a couple of challenges that AJAX faces. One thing that struck me 
was the web application scanners. I've seen a few vendors (i don't to mention any vendor or product name here) products 
that claim that they have javascript parsers and support for AJAX driven applications. My personal experience with 
these tools is that they could not spare well against apps that are heavily JavaScript driven and with the introduction 
of AJAX based apps it's a case of uncertainity in choosing the right product (if at all there can be one which can 
progress in auditing AJAX applications). Do any of you have any insights or experinces on these tools against AJAX 
based apps.

Thanks
Rajesh
