Web Monitor - Popups and Clicks

[WernerCD]

I've got this working...
http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/..._life_scenario

The log-on process for a web-site I want to monitor, which is an IE6 front-end, cobol application, AIX Server:

Front Page
Log-in: Enter userid, password, location(optional)
Click "Ok" on "Terms" pop-up
Verify First Page
Click "Logoff"
Click "Ok" on "Please Confirm" dialog pop-up.
Check resulting page (Front Page)

The problem, I think, is that I'm not sure if it uses POST.

So I guess the real questions are...
How can I determine if I can use POST?
How can I monitor non-standard websites?

Hi,
you'll use POST in a specific step if you fill out the "post" textarea in the step configuration.
Besides, what do you mean by "non-standard website"?

I guess the question should be more defined... frustrated with some other high priority projects I'm on and hard to focus at times

How do I get the right post information?

Looking at the source of the first page I'm working on... there is stuff done client side before sent to server. It looks like the userid/password is stored in a cookie then processed thru some ASPX/JS to create a hash that is sent to the server. How can I "sniff" the hash being sent so I can use that

How do I handle Pop-up/pop-under/new-tabs?

Log-on has a pop-up with a "Notice" and you have to click okay... Log-off has a "Are you sure?" yes/cancel popup. How are these "extra" pages handled?

Just some more detailed tutorials would be helpful, but I"m still trying stuff...

If you want to see the detailed interaction between your client and the web application, your best option is to use a proxy tool like Webscarab, Burp Suite or Paros.

A tutorial on how to use any of those is out of scope here, but you should be able to find plenty of resources elsewhere
