- formfind – a command line utility in perl, that comes with curl; it reads its input from STDIN; it is completely stand-alone; it has been my preferred utility for this purpose for a long time
- mech-dump – a command line utility in perl, that comes with perl's WWW::Mechanize, and it needs the later one installed
- Michael Schrenk's form_analyzer.php – online – you replace the original form action URL with this URL, trigger submit in your browser, and wait for a nicely formatted HTML page displayed in your browser. of course I trust Michael Schrenk, but you might have valuable contents in your HTML, so think twice, whether you want to leave it to somebody else, that you don't know at all.

harvesting HTML-obfuscated web-sites looks like horror to you?
I just completed 2 tasks, where I faced obfuscated CGI forms. It was quite a challenge, and I didn't anticipate the final success from the beginning. But it's done.
Now I am rather eager to apply my technology for interesting and lucrative tasks.
