[Webtest] "Resulting Page" links don't work with folders

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

I think that you've tried something that is beyond the intended
functionality: normally the result files were expected to be saved all
in the same dir and there is no assurance that setting "/" in save
attribute allows to create subdirs.

What is the functionality of these folders?

In the near future I want to change the way reports are generated and
use one subfolder for all artifacts of a <webtest>. This is needed for
upcoming improvements (for instance parallel tests execution).

Marc.
