Thanks. > Just a couple thoughts. Make sure you aren't violating user agreements, etc. Some instituitions could view this as a denial of service depending on how often you intend to run it, etc. Because you are looking to wrangle the HTTP request/response headers, etc. there is a new (to me at least) extension for the Firebird (Mozilla) browser, Live HTTP Headers, that allows you to view and capture as you are browsing all of the actual response/request headers. This might help show exactly what is happening in the browser making it easier to mimic in LWP or whatever.
