Subject: Web Application Penetration Testing Tools

When performing penetration testing of web applications I have used a
minibrowser from www.aignes.com for a very long time.

This simple application allows me to browse a web application and easily
see links, form elements, cookies, a log of actual commands being sent
back and forth and more. The ability to manipulate cookies and form
elements makes it very useful.

Unfortunately, it's support as a web browser is limited so I can't test
all web applications (such as embeded scripts and frames).

Does anyone know of some other good tools for auditing web applications
with the ability to manipulate form data and cookies before being sent
to the server?

Preferably, I'm looking for something based on Windows that is browser
based (as opposed to proxy based) but am still open to all platforms and
methods.
