[Http-webtest-general] ::Hooks / on response dramas

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Getting the following error trying to buffer HTML output as per the 'on
response problem' thread.

HTTP::WebTest: request uri is not set at /somepath/WebTest/API.pm line 567.

The source code is close enough to Ilya's response in that thread as to be
identical. Tracing it back, I'm not exactly sure why this error is cropping
up. Comments? Suggestions? Derisive laughter? ;-) (either of the first two,
greatly appreciated)
