parsing form with a website question...

B

Hi guys...

Got a question that I figured I'd ask before I reinvent the wheel.

A basic website has a form, or multiple forms. within the form, there might
be multiple elements (lists/select statements, etc...). each item would have
a varname, which would in turn be used as part of the form action, to create
the entire query...

sort of like:
form action=test.php?
option
name=foo
foo=1
foo=2
foo=3
foo=4
/option

option
name=cat
cat=1
cat=2
cat=3
/option
/form

so you'd get the following urls in this psuedo example:
test.php?foo=1&cat=1
test.php?foo=1&cat=2
test.php?foo=1&cat=3
test.php?foo=2&cat=1
test.php?foo=2&cat=2
test.php?foo=2&cat=3
test.php?foo=3&cat=1
test.php?foo=3&cat=2
test.php?foo=3&cat=3
test.php?foo=4&cat=1
test.php?foo=4&cat=2
test.php?foo=4&cat=3

i'm looking for an app that has the ability to parse any given "form" on a
web page, returning the complete list of possible url combinations based on
the underlying elements that make up/define the form...

anybody ever seen anything remotely close to this...???

i've been research crawlers, thinking that this kind of functionality would
already exist, but so far, no luck!

thanks
