I think it would be better to request good test cases (or rather good steps-to-reproduce) - and ensure that they are produced to /either/ the latest released version, or the svn HEAD. better instead to try to make sure that svn HEAD doesn't stray for too long from the released version (release often?) I think it always helps an OS dev community if there's a publicised suggested bug reported process (no matter what that process is is). If so, it's important to get that bug reporting process put onto the httpunit website (maybe instead of the "bug database" link). The page would contain an outline of process and a link to the mailing list & tracker: """ If you believe you have discovered a bug then * Email the mailing list ([email protected]) with details of how to reproduce (something close to a readable test case would be great) and whether you're using svn HEAD (give revision number) or latest release (give release number) * You may then be encouraged to report it into the bug tracker (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=6550&atid=106550) or to retest with svn HEAD, or to provide more details. * if you have a patch or a suggested changeto httpunit code, you can use that """ what do you/others think? also, what would you like me to start looking through (I will need to get the latest version and start using it - I've been using an old and patched version for a while). all the best Tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
