Apropos of some recent discussions, I've got HTTP::Recorder working right now, and clicking on Javascript thingies creates only a blank line in the output log, for instance:
$agent->get("http://www.oreilly.com/"); #go to oreilly.com
#click on upper-right JS thingie; noth
+ing logged
$agent->get("http://www.oreilly.com/"); #back button
If I'm missing something, please set me straight-- but I see no evidence that anything done with Javascript is captured at all by HTTP::Recorder or HTTP::Proxy.

My guess would be that it doesn't log anything because it doesn't actually do anything that involves the server. That means it can be ignored, if the goal of the script is to grab some data from the server.

I dont' think so. I also tested it against an in-house app on IE that is known to pass all kinds of stuff to and from the server, all in JS code-- HTTP::Recorder captured no traffic at all.
Something about JavaScript makes interaction with the server invisible. I really like HTTP::Recorder, I wish I could figure out to expose that traffic.
