Its publicly available on the net - its called 'swapdrive.com' - but
forget about my 'standards' argument for a bit - I agree its a bit
mesleading.
My example was not meant to be taken literally, it was an example of what
I was trying to do, ie: pass text verbatim to a website, in the chance
that the website is expecting some unusual headers.
For example, I know that the following string works with swapdrive
(tokens replaced by ... and split to 80 chars/line)
GET http://www.swapdrive.com/swapdriveservices/service.asmx/Get... HTTP/1.0
Host: www.swapdrive.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.9 Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6)

q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5

Accept-Encoding; gzip,deflate
Accept-Charset; ISO-8851-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7

I know this because I sniffed it with ethereal. Now why should I take the extra
step of
cutting up this perfecly good query and try to stuff it into perl methods when
its available for free and I could pass it verbatim to LWP?

ps - On a related matter, I'm having issues with lwp, Crypt-SSLeay, and
proxies.
I know this is slightly different because the negotiation of viewing secure
traffic, but when I use lwp-request with the following query I get errors,
wheras
with firefox everything works out fine:
% lwp-request
'https://www.swapdrive.com/swapdriveservices/service.asmx/GetUserInfo?sAuthDomain=pge.com&sAuthUserID=autoadmin&sAuthPassword=yabbadab&sUserID=enalysis&sDomain=pge.com'

To debug, I'd like to be able to print out the two unencrypted traffic
streams as
they go to proxy, and from proxy to swapdrive, and compare them line by line to
see
where they differ. And if they differ, change LWP's output to match that of
firefox.
However, when I use LWP::Debug, it doesn't seem to do this low-level
trace
like 'wget -d' does. Is there a way to make LWP do this?
Also, is there a good tool that lets me do this on firefox (a plugin/etc)? I
have tamper data,
but it doesn't seem to give this level of detail (I could be wrong, I just got
it).
