[Webtest] Unique Directory for reports not possible?

[Paul King]

Your file worked for me (replacing the actual test steps)
as long as I changed the config element to point to your
timestamped properties:

    <config
        summary="true"
        saveresponse="true"
        resultpath="${webtest.resultpath}"
        resultfile="${webtest.resultfile}" .../>

To get an index.html (no need to have results.html in previous copy):

    <copy tofile="${webtest.resultpath}/index.html" file="${webtest.resultpath}/results.html"/>

Cheers, Paul.
