Hi Mark,
I think (from what I understand) that you are rather looking for performing
functional test than unit tests (or in other words black box testing rather
than white box testing). Cactus is only doing unit tests, so it won't really
help for functional and acceptance testing.
For that you need another framework or product. There are several available.
I would suggest you start by looking at HttpUnit
(http://httpunit.sourceforge.net) and see if it fits your needs.
Thanks
-Vincent
