A bunch of good stuff by Mark snipped.
For FireFox there is an add-in called LiveHTTPheaders which will show you what goes on at a web site when you submit a form manually from a browser.
The curl tool will allow you to submit form data as GET or POST and if you want you can use a "do shell script" to make it happen. If you don't do that but stay in a shell that preserves state you can also ask curl to save and replay cookies to a site you're involved with.
iCab, a browser for the Mac, will also allow you to save and view a log file that will show the header data as you access a web site. <http://www.icab.de>

are some samples you might find interesting. They use some AppleScript which I do with a BBEdit worksheet and the osascript tool. Perl is involved.
