Ok I have been looking into this lately, and can't seem to figure it out. Is there a way to spoof your java user agent. I am trying to view movie content on msn.com but can't seem to do so unless I spoof my browser user agent, and dissable java, then disect the various java code wrapping to find a playable asx file which is really just a regular movie file any computer can play.

Any tips? JM
 
You might try an editing web proxy. Basically, you start a web proxy on your local machine, which allows you to edit every aspect of both HTTP requests and responses - you choose exactly what you want to send to the server, and what you want to render in your browser.

I don't know how you'd pick apart the Java code, but if Java uses the same proxy settings as your browser, you'd catch it downloading the actual media file.

I've used Paros (http://www.parosproxy.org,) and quite like it. I haven't used WebScarab (http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_WebScarab_Project), but I gather it's somewhat more usable, and somewhat less featureful. Both are open source, and are Java apps.
