Re: Bye bye HttpUnit

Yes, I too think HTTPUnit is dead. The original developer has moved on and
there are no more committers. And I don't know if anyone has the time and
interest to be a committer on this.

Saladin,

Take it easy dude.  These two frameworks are used in different contexts as
you have noticed.  HttpUnit is good for carrying out tests based more on
Http:  Send a request then query the response for whatever the expected
should be.  HttpUnit has little JScripting support

In contrast, as you have noticed, HtmlUnit has better support for JScript
and testing is more page-client centric.

I understand your frustration however.  

Cheers!
Jay
