[Http-webtest-general] Re: Frames???

[Dr. T. Y. <tya...@ya...>]

Ilya,

Thanks for the response, albeit late, it is still
better than none :-)

The need for handling frames is due to single signon
implementations.  Typically, one frame
provides/maintains single signon session state and
another frame provides application content and
application session state.  In all cases, session
states are maintained via hidden variables, cookies,
javascripts etc.

In my case, it is important that the test script
invoke all frames for a given URL, in order to
maintain session states in different frames.

Although the method that you describe below does
provide a simplistic approach to the problem, it does
not address the fundamental problem of cookies and
session variables in multiple frames for a given URL. 


Don't you think it is more desirable to have a
mechanism in place that deals with frames more
elegantly, and perhaps seamlessly?  There might be
particular reasons why a tester would like to handle
frames manually.  Hence, it would be very desirable to
have a parameter that turns frame support on and off.

Any thoughts?
