Re: HttpUnit and XPath

There's not really any easy way to convert a node in the DOM tree to a
httpunit object afaik. Httpunit essentially wrappes the DOM objects with
it's own Web* objects but the DOM tree can't do it the other way around.

1. Maybe if you checked all WebLink objects and compared them with your
Node object.

2. Or you manually extract the link from the Node object and request it
manually, httpunit can handle the relative links for you. Won't work if
you want javascript though.

3. If you don't mind hacking the source you might be able to use a
HashMap to look up httpunit objects from Node objects.

Might be other ways to do it but these are the ones that sprang to mind
first.
