off topic question --Browser/Post redirect

Hi.

I've got a test url that appears to do a Post with a redirect to a
"GET". When I run the url and examine the traffic using a network tool
like Livehttpheaders I can see the flow of the traffic. It clearly
shows the post/get actions. Unfortunately, the livehttp app doesn't
display the content/data for the url/page. I'd really like to be able
to see the content of the "POST". I'm trying to replicate the network
steps to generate the page/content using curl so I'd like to figureout
what I've missed.



The test url is
https://classschedule.tulane.edu/Search.aspx

Select the "Spring 2018" term, followed by the "Accounting" dept and
select the "Search All Courses" btn.

Thanks for any input/thoughts on this...

The curl question here seems to be how can you mimic what the browser is
sending by using curl. Both Chrome and Firefox have a copy as cURL
feature. Personally I prefer Fiddler [1] which though it does not have
such a feature (? I don't think so) it is easier to examine the data and
you can build your own curl command line.
