Dear folks:

I visit a website frequently that requires a login each time I enter it.
Typically, I log in, navigate to the search page, and input a search term.
The results are then displayed on a page. I'd like to automate the whole
process and redirect the output to a tab-delimited file for ease of
manipulation.

Is there a way that you know of to "log" my session so that I can see what
actually happens behind the scenes (in other words, what the browser and
server are passing back and forth to each other)? That would help me
automate the process. Thanks!

Kevin
