[Httpunit-develop] Some JS extensions to HttpUnit and Rhino

[Paul \Joey\ C. <jo...@mu...>]

Hi I am embarking on a project at work during which I will try to make
Rhino and HttpUnit act more like IE (as much as is neccessary to
interact with certain websites).

I haven't yet explored the documented differences between IE's
JavaScript, and the JavaScript1.1 supported by Rhino, but I hope they
are not unfathomable!

This URL will take you to the patches which I have produced so far.

Check the new class org.mozilla.javascript.JavaScriptExtensions, for a
list of the added features.

Probably of most interest in this first release, is the ability to
pop-up the Rhino JS Debugger in parallel with your own HttpUnit session
(as opposed to running it as a stand-alone application).  If this
feature was already supported, then I probably did it the wrong way!

Disclaimer: Due to time limitations, I will only be producing quick
hacks, not proper re-writes, but I hope they will still be useful.

I would welcome any feedback / advice.

Cheers, Joey.
