Ok, but I don't really want to navigate to the page using both IE and Net:HTTP classes.I've already navigated to the main page via ie.goto() and I'm using ie.button().click to navigateto the resulting page.
Is there an equivalent method in Watir or something I can query in the DOM
to return the HTTP status after the ie.button().click method finishes? It would
be nice to have something similar to $mech->status in Perl. I'm only aware ofthe ie.contains_text() method which isn't quite right.
Unlike $mech, which is a browser simulator, Watir is a browser automator. The headers are not in the DOM -- they are directly handled by the browser, which in this case is IE. Some one needs to figure out how to get IE to reveal this information.
Here's a tool that makes them visible, thus proving that it is programatically available. But the tool is closed source.

If any one knows more about how we could get this information into Watir, please speak up.
