Hi Jamal,
There is an add-in for IE named IEHeaders or something like that which can show
the HTTP headers transfered between client and server.
It is free and after installing it and enabling it from View menu of
IE/ExplorerBar/IEHTTPHeaders, it shows the headers somewhere at the bottom of
the browser window.
To read that pane, you need to use the Jaws cursor to set the focus to the pane
which is a simple text field, then you can read it as any text document, and
you can even export is as a text file using the context menu.
Those headers show the variables sent by POST also.
For forms automation, a higher lever HTTP client than LWP is WWW::Mechanize. It
could help you.
Octavian
