Any of you guys used HTTP-Recorder? I've been trying to get it to work for weeks, as the majority of the things I write a website interaction scripts of one type or another, but I can't find any version of it that works, and the SVN is borked.

So my question is: Does anyone know a way to make ANY version of HTTP-Recorder work (including SSL)? Failing that does anyone know of an alternative (especially one that spit's out

PHP

  curl code instead, but whatever)?

Hi emonk,

just tested it and installed HTTP:roxy and HTTP::Recorder via:



Took a while because there are lots of dependencies.

Then I started a simple test script which I got here:

http://www.

perl

 .com/pub/a/2004/06/04/recorder.html
Use It with a Web Proxy

It was running fine and recorded the session.

I find it easier to just look at the forms and use

perl

  mechanize now days.
I think you are better off to use liveheader plugin for FF (I think IE has a similar type plugin)
Then it not too difficult to make a simple parse that parses the liveheaders and then makes proper fields to use with LWP.

Which version did you use? Everyone all over the inte

rnet

  has been complaining about the "Can't locate object method "query_param."" error, and the only fix involves the SVN code, but the SVN repository is down.

The only version I could find without that error, wouldn't work on SSL sites.

I've really tried everything that I could think of, and googled my brains out, but to no avail.

I was really just mostly hoping that either someone had the SVN code lying around, or knew of an alternative that did something similar like the script that nop_90 describes.

I guess I'll just have to code something myself.

This is the version I have used:

package HTTP::Recorder;
our $VERSION = "0.05";
Date: 18 Aug 2005

Maybe the following fix will help:

I find it easier to just use

perl

  wsp now days. (http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/wsp/)

Thanks mayne. I'll give it a go.

What does that do that liveheaders doesn't do?  Or is it just easier as you said?

Live headers generates every POST and GET in a file that I can save to disk with one click

It generates the

Perl

  code that replicates that specific browser behavior.

Though it's not the most important point. It's a simple proxy in fact so you don't need to use FF or browser - just a convenient tool that does its job well.
