err. adobe PDF web capture you basically start adobe and say capture a web
page and paste in a url and say grab. it's very very good at making A4 pdfs
out of fairly bad web pages. it doesn't go to 'capture servers' as
such. i may have misled you a little.

basically it's like a browser in the same manner as IE, but converts to PDF.
there is a FAQ on adobe that says basically no you can't have auth on your
proxy for this to work. sux badly that does, but basic auth still does
work. quite baffling.

re: capture of header? excellent. i'll try that. i tried tcpdump and
just viewing the data with a -X but all the junk went past faster than the
eye could blink. good call.
