Continuing in the same vein of plugins for IE, Konstantin Boukreev's 
Cookie Spy will allow you to view and manipulate cookies on the fly 
directly from the browser.  A useful tool indeed!  

Get it here: http://www.codeproject.com/shell/cookiespy.asp

Try Richard van den Berg's modifications to HtmlBar. It's a DLL for IExplore that allows you to view and manipulate 
forms variables (including hidden ones). Not sure about cookies, but it looks pretty cool.

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.
