- Fixed some of the situations where the tool would throw an exception. These wouldn't stop it from working, but it now handles most of these;
- Fixed the output of "?" for the enhanced WebSmack 2b and later versions. Now if a POST is output, there will be 2 question marks in the file (like there should be).
For those of you not familiar with IEnterceptor, it is a tool for capturing events from Internet Explorer on Windows. It requires Python for Windows, as well as the win32all extensions (all included with ActiveState Python).
If you start IEnterceptor on the command line, it will start an instance of IE. Any navigation events generated by the IE window will be output on the command shell, together with the parameters passed to the site. The format of the output (to stdout) is for a non-public tool known as WebSmack (written by Brian Holyfield), however it is still useful for capturing events even if you are not using this tool. IEnterceptor is designed for situations where you can't capture events using a local proxy or similar tool. The main drawbacks are that it will only capture events on the one window (none on popups), and that not all events may be captured. For example, events generated through Javascript may or may not be captured (depends on how it is done).
Drop me a line if there are any other issues with the tool. I haven't tested it rigourously in a while... Here is a screenshot of it in action
