This's a browser/server architecture, we have Crystal Report 8 used(10.2.10.7).
One IE browser with URL

on client launched and called Crystal Report Viewer, a new IE window would be opened.
How can we monitor this new IE window or content in this new IE window?
It's difficult. What I normally do in these cases is to use something
like wireshark (ethereal) to trace the requests going to the server, and
see if I can just grab one of the pages without going through the whole
series of screens that the user does. If that is not possible, then the
only way forward is to write a script to mimic the behaviour of your
browser, which can be quite tricky to do - getting everything right with
dynamic URL's, Javascript "onLoad()" functions, cookies etc. can be a lot
of work.
There are a couple of tools that can help:
1) LiveHTTPHeaders plugin for Firefox shows you exactly what headers
flow between the browser and the server;
2) curl is pretty good at grabbing web pages. It has a library and
extensions for using it within Perl, PHP, tcl, C, etc, as well as the
command line version for use in shell scripts.
