Well, it doesn't do very well as a webcrawler robot - and  there are  
other packages (er, and languages!) out there that work better for that.

In fact the problem I was pointing to was that it not only doesn't  
retrieve javascript from another server, it forgets to look at the  
hostname of the server and assumes it must be on the PseudoServer (and  
then it gets a 404 and complains, failing the test).

Are there really people out there using httpunit for its pseudoclient  
side services only?
