[Webtest] Design of com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step

[Daniel Sheppard]

Firstly, why is it being made final? What consequences are there in a ste=
p overriding this method?

I'm not sure I'm completely grokking your situation.=20
1) You're telling your task to go to a page.
2) HttpUnit is failing to go to this page.
3) You want your test to still succeed?

Does the haltonfailure / haltonerror settings on testspec not cover this?=
