[Webtest] GET METHOD

Hi Canoo Web Test Team,

I started to use Canoo to do some acceptance tests in our web applications.

The majority of  our web applications use javascript to validate some 
fields in HTML Forms, so I can't use tags <setinputfield> and 
<clickbutton> to submit some requests to Java Servlets that we build. In 
this case, we've tried to use tag <invoke>, doing HTTP Get Method 
submissions to our Java Servlets, like:

       <invoke stepid="Acess to Register Cliente Servlet"
                     
url="servletRegisterClient?name=blablabla&amp;address=blllakjkajdfklja"
                     save="registerCliente" />

Doing my work like this way, I could have "big" HTTP Get Method 
submissions to my servlets. My doubt is: do you know if there's any 
restriction to the length of HTTP Get Method, in protocol, browser or 
server???

I know that we can replace, only for test, javascript sourcecode in HTML 
pages with direct submission to Servlets but this can bring some daily 
effort to maintain HTML Pages for test and for releases.

Another question: there's any plan to create a GUI to Canoo Web Test?

Uirá
