[Webtest] Bug in Canoo - com.meterware.httpunit.WebForm$NoSuchParameterException is uncaught

[John Willemin]

Just like before, there is an exception coming out of the HttpUnit code 
that's not getting handled. This causes any test which tries to set a 
parameter that isn't there to fail and exit silently with no error message.

I found this bug while trying to get a clickbutton working, but there are 
probably other places.

I am not going to get specific (i.e. posting patches/fixes) until someone 
on the list who impacts the codebase tells me that they're listening :) I 
am still waiting to hear about the other bug I found (the error 500).

Here's a stacktrace. The line numbers are probably off somewhat in 
ClickButton as I have jammed a good amount of debugging in there.

Thanks for your time,
John Willemin
