[Webtest] Canoo webtest for AJAX applications

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi Venkatesh,

htmlunit 1.9 (currently shipped with WebTest) only recognizes 1 of the 
multiple XMLHttpRequest ActiveX flavours (apparently not the one you 
use). This has been fixed in htmlunit's SVN so you can build htmlunit 
from its source and use it in place of version 1.9.
Alternatively you can choose to simulate a Mozilla browser as the native 
XMLHttpRequest object is supported.

AJAX is supported... to some extend. I suppose that more need to be made 
but that WebTest can be a really good solution to test AJAX web 
applications. In particularly it could be possible to turn asynchron 
request synchron to ensure that tests execute always the same what is 
not possible in a normal browser.

Marc.
