in reply to Deciphering POST response recorded by HTTP::Recorder

Next, how can I begin to decipher that block?

That doesn't look like HTTP::Recorder output, this is HTTP::Recorder output

$agent->get('http://perlmonks.com/?node_id=6364;user=jclh'); $agent->form_number(2); $agent->field('length', '50'); $agent->field('orderby', 'rt'); $agent->field('user', 'jclh'); $agent->field('showtype', ''); $agent->field('start', '0'); $agent->click('sexisgood');

    Sorry, I meant HTTP Recorder (the Windows version)... I started off trying to use HTTP::Recorder and when I started it and set the proxy through it I got some 'invalid compression' message when clicking the save button... so I floundered around and found www.westbrooksoftware.com HTTP Recorder.

      If I were you I would switch to firefox , say http://getfirebug.com/, with LiveHTTPHeaders plugin, that way correlating between pages/buttons is simple

      On the 2nd part, well, HTTP is HTTP :)

      #!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dump; use LWP; my $str = q{GET /tree/16449623/hints?pid=20442759375&hf=Mtree&pn=1&hs= +recent&msg=ntm&msgParams=7%7c15%7c22%7cUGhlYmUgQUxMWU5FfFJvYmVydCBISU +NLUw2&mpid=20442759375&nec=2 HTTP/1.1},; dd $str; my $req = HTTP::Request->parse( $str ); dd $req; dd $req->uri; dd { $req->uri->query_form };
        Thanks! The live http headers helped me figure out that I was looking on the wrong line, but unfortunately the correct line leaves me just as confused. But in a different way. I'm going to open a separate thread for that question. Thanks!
