[Webtest] Asynchronous requests: how to track?

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi Andrew,

can you try this (with a recent build containing HtmlUnit 1.13):

<groovy>
import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.NicelyResynchronizingAjaxController
step.context.webClient.ajaxController = new
NicelyResynchronizingAjaxController()
</groovy>

this will be the default setting for WebTest... once I've found time for it.

More about the motivation of this resynchronization:
