It's not a real show-stopper to me. Still, I think, it's a basic issue worth improvement at HtmlUnit. Hence I opened a ticket there: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3102067&group_id=47038&atid=448266
I know, I moan a lot and don't ever provide a patch myself - my excuse: I just don't have the background :( WebTest is still a cool and valuable tool!

I've discovered it by a client and he was happy with the workaround that consist in explicitly setting the request header. As a consequence he was not motivated to provide a patch or to let me do it while I was working for him. If you're motivated to provide a patch, it is welcome ;-) Cheers, Marc. _______________________________________________ WebTest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canoo.com/mailman/listinfo/webtest
