FW: Monitoring AJAX applications

[David Rudder]

AJAX requests are just normal HTTP requests, but they are initiated by 
Javascript. I use the Firebug firefox extension to debug AJAX. It shows 
the request and responses, so you can add those to webinject. WebInject 
probably doesn't run the JavaScript, so it won't initiate the AJAX 
requests itself. You'll have to add them manually.
