forcing HTTP POST and displaying results in a browser? How?
I have to debug someone's fancy webapp. I've never done this before.
I have a form to look at. I want to enter arbitrary values and see what happens. As far as I know, Firefox won't let me hand-write a HTTP POST method. And anything I type in the URL bar is sent as a GET, right?
I could probably telnet to port 80 and write the HTTP myself (with patience), but then, how would I send the response back to a web browser for interpreting?
Is there a web browser which makes this sort of low-level stuff doable? Am I going about this the wrong way? How do experienced web developers do this? Where is a better place to ask these questions?

Why not just write a quick html page with a post form?
