NAME

HTTP::Recorder - record interaction with websites

VERSION

Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

Set HTTP::Recorder as the user agent for a proxy, and it rewrites HTTP responses so that additional requests can be recorded.

Set it up like this:

    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new;

    # set HTTP::Recorder as the agent
    my $agent = HTTP::Recorder->new( file => "/tmp/tmpfile",
				     showwindow => 1);
    $proxy->agent( $agent );

    # you may need to set the host
    # $proxy->host( "www.example.com" );

    $proxy->start();

Then, tell your web browser to use your proxy, and the script will be recorded in the specified file.

If showwindow is set to 1, a popup window will display the current script after each action.

Javascript & SSL

HTTP::Recorder won't record Javascript actions, or pages delivered via SSL.

Script output

By default, HTTP::Recorder outputs WWW::Mechanize scripts.

However, you can override HTTP::Recorder::Logger to output other types of scripts.

Functions

new

Creates and returns a new HTTP::Recorder object, referred to as the 'agent'.
