Hi,
We are writing some tests for an existing web application. For testing
purposes the first page just contains links to other pages within the
application. Using webtest we are "invoking" the first page then
following the link to a subsequent page. When webtest is trying to read
the second page it fails with the following exception:-
Unexpected exception caught: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

We also get the same problem running verifyLinks with a depth of 1 from
the first page. Any ideas what is causing this problem? Could it be
related to relative links? If so does anybody know how to get around the
problem.
Thanks in advance
