            Hey All,
I found an amazing tool last night that helped us track down an 
issue with a deployment of our app on our testing servers.  We were 
getting strange HTTP faults that only occured on the testing server 
and it was impossible to use a http tunneling tool such as NetTools 
to track down the faults.  One reason is that we dynamically change 
the server routing depending on where the app is deployed and I 
needed to verify that the calls where being formatted and routed 
correctly but do to time and out build process, putting in extra 
hooks to trap the calls and verify the output was only to be 
considered as a last resort.

After doing some digging I found a Firefox extension called Tamper 
Data, that allows you to catch, hold, read, modify and even cancel 
post/get calls from the browser.  Not only that, but it gives you 
timing info on the call back and even has built in charting.  This 
tool allowed me to actually verify that I was sending the correct 
information and that the fault was acutally on the server and not 
the app.  I highly recommend it because it is super easy to use, 
requires no port juggling (which can break the Flash sandbox on 
servers) and works on remote servers because its intergrated into 
the browser.  check it out:
