WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Snapshot is a Web debugging plugin. It allows you to selectively dump the results of an HTTP request to files that can be displayed in a browser, showing not only the web page at the time of the request, but also
- Arbitrary comment information from the user (as text).
The URL of the request.
- A formatted copy of the HTTP request
- A formatted HTTP response (less the actual content and the request)
- The current contents of the cookie jar
- The actual web page content
The output is displayed in a frame, with the debug information on the left and the actual page HTML as fetched at the time of the snapshot on the right.
