Application testing

[Angela Lin]

 I need to carry out some testing of a cgi application from a Browser
client.
 I have been informed that I can use Python (or some of it's extensions) to
 capture and replay the http traffic between the Browser and the Webserver
to
 simulate a user session. Unfortunately I've not been able to find any
 information on this usage in the books I've looked at so far. I am also
 interested in any other applications free or otherwise which would allow me
 to do this.

 I would like to be able to capture the traffic and edit it to allow
modified
 replays of sessions. Can anbody help with this? Should I be looking at
other
 news groups for these features?

 Thanks.
