Hi Arash, You may have interest in coding a solution to this, for your own reasons. I totally support those inclinations! :) I'm going to go a little off-topic with an idea though: Personally, I use "Tamper Data" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/966) within FireFox to handle this type of thing. It's a most excellent resource: it's like a wire sniffer at the HTTP level only. It supports decoding request data and tracking POST, GET and Ajax stuff. It's been invaluable for me in some circumstances - I hope the reference is helpful. Steve p.s. It's been particularly helpful in trapping precisely certain live GET & Ajax requests which I then convert into testing requests to re-create the errors. _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
