Question : How do you make a note of a POST request that is made by browser

Hi,

I am following a UAT test and testing the checkout process of a website.

One of the steps is to choose to pay by cheque and make a note of the POST request that is made
when accessing the Confirm order stage.

How do you 'make a note of the POST request'? I know a GET request is shown in the query string in the url but not the POST request.

thanks for your help

Answer : How do you make a note of a POST request that is made by browser

It seems an odd thing to ask a UAT tester to report. Nonetheless, using Firefox, several extensions allow you to peek at the POST request. Two examples:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829/
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/966/

I don't completely remember if Firebug also allows you to view that information, but it may be the case. If you have that installed already, you can check to see what the server request and responses are in Firebug on the form page and form submission page.

For other browsers, there are probably other tools. Let us know if you need anything else.
