I use Charles to record HTTP-sessions (www.charlesproxy.com). A good
recorder although I don't know how the playback possibilities are. You
should take a look at Selenium also (http://seleniumhq.org/). If you by
any chance want to use an online service, our online load testing
service http://loadimpact.com offers recording and playback capabilities
(the load generator/playback program is libCURL-based, by the way).
