Does anyone know a good tool for sending arbitary headers in http requests? In particular I need to modify the post data a form sends. This is to test my app for resistance against this kind of hacking.
I did use tamper data an extension for firefox but now it crashes firefox every time i try and use it, and it had other bugs too.

I thought about making requests via JavaScript but a little app would be easier.

edit: i've just read that the crash is because I use google accelerator. So I'm ok for now.

Telnet works well for testing... Connect, send headers, watch response...

yeah that is always an option. my knowledge of http isn't quite good enough and its tedious work even if i was an expert. tamper data seems to be working pretty well now and i only need it for a couple of things.
