HttpUnit 1.7 released

Version 1.7 Released 2008-05-20

Acknowledgements:

This project would almost certainly have remained dormant without the  
extraordinary contributions of our new committer, Wolfgang Fahl.  
Wolfgang has been extremely active over the past few months, erasing  
the backlog in bug, patches, and enhancement requests, and generally  
improving the quality and energy of the project. In addition, thanks  
are due to:
Stefan Hübner for supplying a patch for URL-decoding of parameters in  
ServletUnit
Archimedes Trajano for supplying code to support non-JSSE SSL providers
Bobby Abraham for adding the capability of deleting a cookie manually
Rafal Krzewski for adding special handling for form actions containing  
a parameter named "action."
Michael Rudolf for adding support for connection and read timeouts.
Richard Lee for supporting xy parameter submission for unnamed image  
buttons.
Laurent Wozniak for address the handling of expired cookies
Matthew O. Smith for adding more sophisticated logging to ServletUnit
Mattias Jiderhamn for adding Javascript support for arbitrary attributes
Björn Beskow for adding Javascript support for 'onMouseUp' and  
'onMouseDown' events
Jord Sonneveld for adding support for onBlur and onFocus events
Hugh Winkler for fixing getPathInfo decoding
David D. Kilzer for supporting direct invocation ot javascript events
Fabrizio Giustina for enabling html parsing of xml responses
Roger Lindsj for adding handling of empty error pages under JDK 1.5
Notes:

Upgraded NekoHTML to 0.9.5
Upgraded Xerces to 2.6.1
Upgraded Rhino to 1.6R5
The PostMethodWebRequest.setMimeEncoded method has been removed. Mime  
encoding, if desired, should now be specified when constructing the  
object.
WebLink.click() now only returns the contents of the frame containing  
the link. Previously, if there was no event involved and the link  
included a frame reference, it would return the contents of the  
referenced frame.
HttpUnit configuration management has been moved from CVS to  
subversion at http://httpunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/httpunit/trunk/httpunit
The build now uses the Maven dependencies task (see http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html) 
  rather than keeping the dependent jars in the repository.
When using the nekoHtml parser, tag and attribute names now default to  
lower case, rather than upper case as before
Empty cells from tables are no longer automatically purged when  
searching for a table by its first non-blank cell
Problems fixed:

Content and Parsing:
