inspect flash traffic in firefox

dxxd116 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, Monks:

I recently want to debug gmail sending with attachments. Since gmail now use flash uploader to upload attachments, I am wondering whether there is any tool or plugin that I can use to inpesct the traffic generated by gmail flash uploader. I tried to use flashfirebug in firefox, but it seems that it cannot be downloaded now. Maybe it is not maintained anymore.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks. Xingliang

I recently want to debug gmail sending with attachments. Since gmail now use flash uploader to upload attachments It sounds like you are tring to mechanize the Gmail web interface. Did you know that you can send attachments thru directly thru GMail with Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail or Net::SMTP::SSL ? I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

That is correct. I am trying to mechanize the web interface. Sending through SMTP is an option. But I am still curious that whether there is any flash debugger or flash traffic monitor, etc. If there is, then I can debug other websites that embeds flash as well.	[reply]

Uh, why don't you just turn that feature off in google mail settings then?	[reply]

I want to debug the uploading of attachment. My purpose is not to send email with attachment. That can be done using other modules such as Email::Send::SMTP::Gmail, etc.	[reply]
