[Http-webtest-general] Click, match on href as well as text?

[Kevin B. <ke...@ri...>]

Hi, I submitted this to cpan Request Tracker first...

is it possible to make Click::click_link more adaptable?

My issue is that I may have many <a> links on the web page
returned by a test with the same <a href="...">Text</a>. 
The only way they differ is the contents of the href
attribute of the a tag.
Would it be possible to tell 'click_link' to click on 
the <a> tag via the href text instead of the 'Text'?

For instance, I have many links on a list that look like this

<a href"/edit_user.html?user=adam">Edit</a>
<a href"/edit_user.html?user=john">Edit</a>
<a href"/edit_user.html?user=pete">Edit</a>

It'd be nice to say...

    click_link => { href => 'edit_user.html?user=pete' }

or some wonderful syntax that differentiates from the usual
way you guys built it.

The other thing is that in Click::find_link, it checks the pattern
case insensitively. Is it important to do this? 

I noticed that because I had a href link with the text, 'Back', 
and another mailto link with the mail address '<feedback@x.com>'.
The pattern matched on the mail address first. If it had been 
case sensitive I wouldn't have noticed. Perhaps you can either
turn this behaviour on or off or document it or let the person 
pass their own regex in? 

thanks for your efforts, much appreciated

Kev
