Hi Linda, I promised to send some feedback on H:R when we met in Schorndorf. I hope you have a good time in Frankfurt. First pseudo-patch adds a prereq to Makefile.PL: URI::Escape => 0, + HTTP::Proxy => 0, Then, the manpage needs to mention the proxy default values, otherwise one cannot know how to point the browser to this proxy. Patch to Recorder.pm: Then, tell your web browser to use this proxy, and the script will be - recorded in the specified file. + recorded in the specified file. If you have uses the above default, this + is localhost:8080. That's all for now. I'll see if I can find more interesting stuff. -- andreas

I had a great time in Schorndorf and Frankfurt. I'm looking forward to visiting again. Show quoted text

I did add the requirement for URI::Escape, but not for HTTP::Proxy, because technically, HTTP::Proxy isn't a requirement, but simply one suggestion about how to use HTTP::Recorder. It would actually be possible to use the Recorder in a number of different ways, and people do, especially when a proxy won't work for them for some reason. Early versions of the Recorder used the rewriting engine as part of a CGI, for instance. Show quoted text

I've been hoping that people will read the HTTP::Proxy Documentation for more information. I'm a little concerned about having my documentation say too much about the defaults of another module -- what if that other module changes, and I'm not aware of it, for instance? Show quoted text

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I've been doing some serious development on HTTP::Recorder again, and working through everything in the RT queue. Linda
