That's exactly what we're using it for (though I let CruiseControl run it 
for me)

There are some tests in com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.SanityCheck. Not 
exactly obvious though...

org.apache.catalina.util.URL doesn't look like it's part of HtmlUnit so I 
don't think there's a lot we can do for you here. The compiler should 
complain if you use the wrong one though ;)

What was the fix? Is it something that should be on the web pages?

I've updated the title in CVS so it will be fixed the next time the site is 
generated. Thanks for the heads up :)

It seems to work fine with the code in CVS. Try the nightly build and see 
if that helps (another thing that will be on the web site next time it gets 
generated):
