Re: [Htmlunit-user] (no subject)

[Daniel G. <djg...@gm...>]

Hi J,

1. You might be able to use a falsifying web connection to replace the
content of all external JS files with empty strings; you'll still be
downloading the files (bad), but HtmlUnit will just execute your empty
string, rather than the real JS (good).

http://www.nabble.com/What%27s-the-prop-way-to-modify-a-web-response-content-before-htmlunit-constructs-the-page--td21831497.html

2. Post some stack traces, because you shouldn't be getting exceptions
thrown in that case.

3. No, just Google it... XPath has been around for a while, so there are
tons of miscellaneous resources online.

Take care,

Daniel
