[tclwebtest] Prototyping a new tclwebtest command: validate

[Grzegorz A. H. <gr...@ef...>]

Hi.

Til, maybe it would be good to make a new release of tclwebtest. On
the meantime, I was thinking about implementing a new command
named validate. This command could be run over pages which are
visible from the net and would call w3's validate engine over the
page. Some examples:

 set url http://somedomain/some_page
 validate $url
 # this would validate css too
 validate -css $url
 # this would validate only css
 validate -onlycss $url
 # this would follow relative local urls only in depth
 validate -recursive $url
 # this would post the code directly
 validate -upload [response full]
 # don't log operations unless something goes wrong
 validate -nolog $url

But I don't see very clear if the command should return a code
(true/false) or should work like do_request, raising assertions for
bad code which can be silenced with -nocomplain. The only drawback
of this command would be that shortly user_agent_id would be needed
for the validator too ;-)
