Brute force, you can always create a request with the desired frame's 
target and URL. As long as there is no body, this will suffice (and you 
usually don't want to refresh pages with message bodies).

A cleaner approach might be to add a 'refresh' method to WebWindow (and of 
course a convenience method to WebClient), passing in the frame name.

This could be tested by defining the original contents, load the response, 
redefining the contents of two frames and then refreshing only one of them.

Handling refreshes of pages with message bodies would be a bit tricker - it 
might require creating the response with a reference to the original 
request, and I have not looked to see if there would be any implications to 
doing that.
