I need an app that can spider a site or record a users requests to create something like the following..

I could have sworn I had an app that did this but I'm buggered if I can find it. Any ideas?

Why do you want to probe other sites for such information?

I don't, I'm setting up security testing of our websites and I want something that gives me (and eventually a couple of other QA people) a nice visual representation of the site structures. The idea being I can use it to quickly expose things like dodgy parameter usage, forgotten legacy pages etc to help us identify and formalise test cases.

I could probably write the spider myself, but I really need it in a diagram form and I wouldn't know where to start coding that - and tbh wouldn't have time anyway.

Maybe Visio has an COM interface you can use? (I don't know so this is a guess). If not, you will have to draw it youself using System.Drawing classes. (Assuming you use .NET).

A diagram may not be the best way to capture this infomation as the web of links available in a typical site will not look as nice as the simple example you gave.
 
Well I can probably get the information in xml form using standard spiders but I really wanted a visual overview at least to make it simple for the other QA guys to use. I suppose I'll just have to bite the bullet and write it. :(

Maybe Doxygen can do what you require? It generates neat call graphs
(using graphviz) for C and C-like languages; maybe there's an adaptation
for asp?
