[Webtest] IE browser

[Marc Guillemot]

I have to correct/precise a bit: if no User-Agent header is specified in 
the configuration, htmlunit (the underlying "browser") simulates IE's 
behavior else WebTest tries to guess from the User-Agent header which 
browser should be simulated.

In htmlunit, when a browser is simulated, this means for instance that 
the JS tries to work the way it works in the simulated browser. This 
means for instance that some JS functions may be available when 
simulating one browser and not when simulating an other (like 
document.all for IE). Even if this support continuously progresses, it 
has some limitations. For instance, htmlunit isn't (and will probably 
never be) able to execute VBScript inside html pages when simulating IE.
