VerifyTextarea should allow nested text for checking multiline values
---------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: WT-404
         URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-404
     Project: WebTest
        Type: New Feature

    Versions: 2.5    
 Environment: WebTest r1685
    Reporter: Roger Waldner


WebTests <verifyTextArea> step should allow to specify the text attribute as nested text of the step. Then the verification of multiline text within a textarea would be possible:

This does not work correctly (the newlines are being translated into blanks):

<verifyTextarea name="certificate" text=" -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFETCCA/mgAwIBAgIBEjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCBsDELMAkGA1UEBhMCQ0gx
DzANBgNVBAgTBlp1cmljaDEgMB4GCSqGSIb3DQEJARYRY2FAc2VjbHV0aW9ucy5j
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----" />

Possible solution (similar to <setInputField>):
<verifyTextarea name="certificate">
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFETCCA/mgAwIBAgIBEjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCBsDELMAkGA1UEBhMCQ0gx
DzANBgNVBAgTBlp1cmljaDEgMB4GCSqGSIb3DQEJARYRY2FAc2VjbHV0aW9ucy5j
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</verifyTextarea>
