The “serialized” name values
pairs that HTTP represent in a POST don’t give you any context to the TYPE
of object that is being sent. You can’t tell a text-field from a listbox.

Recorder? write watir scriptsusingHTTP::Recorder
I think you missed the
point. You can use HTTP::Recorder to "Record" actions that would be
recoreded as Watir Scripts. This can take away alot of effort that would be put
by the programmer in writing a script manually and all the actions that you
would do would get Scripted/Recorded in Watir syntax.
I believe this could very well be done. Common issues that we would face are
that we won't be able to Script actions done on SSL and it isn't supportive of
_javascript_, for now. Other than this, i don't see why we can't make it so it
would record script in watir syntax as by default this module records in
www::Mechanize script syntax and if you read its documentation it states that
you can make it write into custom script as well. Since documentation was not clear
enough and i am not much aware of Perl language other than writing simple
scripts to derive IE using SAMIE, i wasn't really able to deduce how i could do
all this. But there is a very good article on http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/06/04/recorder.html
about how to use it. But as i said, its not much clear as to how could i
customize it to write custom scripts.

HTTP::Recorder takes the proxy approach. That is, it positions
itself
between the browser and the internet to capture the HTTP
traffic. But
the HTTP request is the consequence of a series of actions in the
browser. For Watir, I believe we want to capture the actions
themselves. This leads us to some kind of browser plug-in/toolbar
that
will intercept the user's interactions with the DOM.

No one that i know of is working on this.
