Hello,

I am trying to create a feature where my code takes the server response and outputs to a printer. At first I thought about introducing my code at the browser level, and working around WebKit, but have had significant problems with this, and so I was thinking a great place to introduce my code is at a proxy level. I don't wish to disturb the natural functioning of the browser.

So I was wondering where the best place to start would be. I will take a heavy glance at the source soon, but thought a bit of advice would be good first before I go nuts with lines of code. Eventually I will end up modifying a web browser, but for a completely unrelated purpose, mostly the automated data entry of system information obtained via a PXE boot process.

Thanks for any advice.

    The place to start would be Client::processResponseMetadata().

    Sorry, that would be Client::ResponseHandler::processResponseMetadata().

    So if I just wanted a simple output of the metadata at this point, are we talking about simply: metadata >> string? Not really sure about the data types.
