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!
