For example, you can easily perform the following tasks, and more:

• Examine cookies and ensure they pass the proper state information
• View data sent via POST, to ensure form submissions function properly
• Ensure the content's cache behavior is correct.
• Examine requests generated and invoked by javascripts for correctness, such as banner affiliate or web analytics implementations.

Literally any requirement for examining the underlying HTTP interaction, even over SSL, will be satisfied with PageEngage.

The supported advanced filters allow for textual matching in a case sensitive or insensitive manner, the types of filters available are:

• Request connection status
• Request method (GET or POST)
• Request headers
• Response code
• Response headers
• Content type

You can mix and match these filters as you choose. For example you could create a filter of all GET requests that had a 200 Response code and had a Set-Cookie Response header. And all filters can be saved for future use so you don't have to constantly reinvent the wheel.

Each column in the HTTP Analysis window allows you to do a post request filter by typing in the filter term in the appropriate column header.

Looking for data within the URL:

After the requests for a page have loaded, you can enter a filter term into any of the data columns to look for request information that contains the filter.

For uncovering the source of a specific javascript function or style, you can also do a content search for the filter term where the entire content of a webpage, including all externally referenced components, are parsed for the filter term. This makes it very simple to detect the source of an issue without having to replicate the page, or downloading all the individual external source files and hunting through them manually.

When Script interaction is desired, you simply type your Javascript/VBScript code into a text editor built within PageEngage and hit the execute button and the code is active on the page. This is very useful when troubleshooting existing scripts or writing new scripts for a page without having to modify the actual page source.

PageEngage also allows you to build a library of external script files and load them quickly. Any Javascript/VBScript source can be imported into the text editor.

The supported encode/decode formats are:

• URL
• XML/HTML
• Base 64
• Custom

The custom encoder/decoder lets you load your own encoding/decoding scheme.

This late addition to the stream enables you to perform these tasks, and many more, easier than ever before:

• Sample different css styles - This can be achieved by translating the styles themselves or changing the actual css file source.
• Experiment with various themes and content - Translate any textual marketing messages with a simple "find and replace" paradigm, or change the source of your images to render different images.
• Test different behaviors of your Javascripts - test field validation code, menu behavior, or banner affiliate and analytics implementations.
• Markup SEO footers for better Search Engine Optimization.
• Tag a site with web analytics or marketing analysis code to verify tracking behavior without every touching the page source.

Literally any additional web content that needs testing or validation can be injected and tested with PageEngage without modifying the underlying source files.

This late modification to the stream enables you to perform these tasks, and many more, easier than ever before:

• Replace existing content with modified content for proof of concept sites.
• Replace existing images and elements with different ones to change the look and feel of a site on the fly.
• Verify script fixes on your pages in a production environment without the need to setup a dev or staging environment.
• Add debug statements to a page at critical functionality points to verify proper script behavior.
• Modify analytics or marketing code to test another vendor or a different type of implementation.
• Test new versions of rich media components like flash and streaming media without any alternate site setup.

Any existing web content or components can be translated with PageEngage into whatever you choose, without modifying the underlying source files.

PageEngage has a mini-email sender client built in that lets you add all your page interactions, and send your information to the appropriate recipient or recipients. You can add a subject line, the affected web page URL, and a brief or detailed message to your colleagues.

PageEngage also manages received Share contexts. When a PageEngage Share is received it will be marked as a "shared context" which will allow you to quickly access all your shares, and other Share contexts sent to you from other PageEngage users.

From within the Mini Browser you could have help documentation, web productivity tools, webmail clients, or web bug database pages open while you work in either the main window or the Mini Browser window. The Mini Browser is a full browser, and creates an "Iframe" like environment where you have total control of what content is rendered.
