Re: Using HttpUnit without WebConversation and WebResponse

Hi Russell,

Thanks for your quick reply!

Actually your response solves another problem that I faced. I will explain 
this.

At first I tried something like your proposal. I wrote the String to a file 
'test.htm' which was located in a local webserver library (I am running 
Apache as a local Webserver).

I then accessed the file in the standard way using:
WebConversation wc = new WebConversation();
WebResponse   resp = wc.getResponse( "http://localhost/test.htm" );

However this doesn't work because the 'test.htm'-file contains a reference 
to another file 'empty.html', which is not present. The following exception 
is thrown:
Exception in thread "main" com.meterware.httpunit.HttpNotFoundException: 
Error on HTTP request: 404 Not Found [http://localhost/empty.html]

On the other hand the file 'test.htm' can be opened in e.g. IE despite the 
broken reference to 'empty.html', so..

But your solution actually solves this problem using URLConnection. I am not 
sure I understand exactly why. Can you explain this?

Regards,
Jesper
