Yeah, that's a good tip. I was thinking of messing around with the user agent info, and some other stuff, but that might have to wait til the weekend.

The browser's output should be caught by your TCP logger. You can then compare the HTTP request from the browser, to the HTTP request you're sending from python.

This looks like an ingenious way to solve the problem. I didn't know that could be considered, and I would never have thought of it. I have no idea where I'd start writing it, but I'm pretty sure I see what you mean me to do. Submit the form, but send a copy to "home" as well. I'll see if google has the magic.
