 Revision History:
-19-Jun-2002
-Additions:
-    1. ServletUnit now implements the HttpServletRequest.getServletPath and getPathInfo methods.
-
-18-Jun-2002
-Acknowledgements:
-    Thanks to Jessica Sant for correcting the handling of error statuses.
-Problems fixed:
-    1. bug #570644: As of JDK 1.3.1-03, the behavior of HttpURLConnection was changed to throw an IOException when an
-       error status is returned. This broke HttpUnit's handling of error codes. This has since been corrected.
-
-17-Jun-2002
-Acknowledgements:
-    Thanks to Robert Watkins for the content length test.
-
-Additions:
-    1. An IO exception is thrown if the content length does not match the actual received length for a response and
-       content-length checking is enabled.
-
-21-May-2002
-Correction:
-    1. ServletUnit supports urls beginning with "/servlet/" as referring to a servlet class name if not mapped to anything else.
-
-20-May-2002
-Additions:
-    1. ServletUnitHttpRequest now implements getInputStream and getContentType.
-
-16-May-2002
-Acknowledgements:
-    Thanks to James Murty for adding caching of servlet instances and some XML parsing cleanup.
-
-Additions:
-    1. ServletUnit now caches its servlet instances so that multiple invocations can use the same instance.  This more
-       closely matches the servlet spec.
-    2. Leading and trailing spaces in web.xml text nodes are now ignored.
-    3. If no other mapping matches a servlet name in a URL, ServletUnit will try to treat it as a servlet class name.
-       This means that you can use something like http://localhost/com.nowhere.MyServlet to access your servlet without
-       explicitly registering it.
-
-14-May-2002
-Additions:
-    1. A <select> control with a size attribute may now have its value undefined. The specification does not require
-       this behavior, but both IE 5.5 and Netscape 6.2 do this.
-    2. WebResponse.getForms now caches its result so that multiple calls will return the same set of objects.
-    3. WebClient.sendRequest is now available as an alias for WebRequest.getResponse
-
- 9-May-2002
-Acknowledgements:
-    Thanks to Yassen Damyanov for fixing a bug in the handling response headers
-
-Problems fixed:
-    1. Response headers were truncated to the first word only
-    2. The servletunit tutorial failed with a NullPointerException in the first step.
-
- 8-Apr-2002
-Additions:
-    1. It is now possible to set the value of a hidden field in a form using a mechanism which will support scripting in the future:
-              form.getScriptableObject().setParameterValue( fieldName, newValue )
-
-25-Mar-2002
-Problems fixed:
-    1. Parameters were not being submitted for image buttons with no specified value
-
-21-Mar-2002
-Acknowledgements:
-    Thanks to Frank Carver for extending base 64 encoding to handle character values > 127.
-
-Problems fixed:
-    1. Passwords with character values > 127 are now handled.

 Notes:
-    1. Hidden fields may not be modified if parameter validation is enabled, since they cannot be modified through
-       normal user interaction (in the absence of JavaScript).
+    1. Hidden fields may not be modified through the setParameter call if parameter validation is enabled, since they
+       cannot be modified through normal user interaction (in the absence of JavaScript). The getScriptableObject call
+       provides a way around this.
+    2. The version of JTidy included with this release is 4-Aug-2000-r7, which seems to have fewer problems with classloading;
+       however, it is also described as a "less stable" pre-release.

-High Priority
-o Handle frames with the same name as one of their ancestors - fix both removal and lookup
-
 Medium priority:
+o Enable client code to write directly to the output stream of a message body request
+o Provide customization for table to text
 o Support optional tags which hide their contents (as in IFRAME, OBJECT, etc.)
 o Check conformance with RFC 2109 - not currently sending $Version=1 string
 o Support IFRAME tag
