Re: testGZIPDisabled failing randomly

Dear Benjamin, 

sorry for not getting back to you any earlier. I have 
been abroad for four months and then very busy for 
another seven. I'm trying to catch up on things.

It is a pitty that I didn't reply to your offer in 
coding/writing for version 2 of httpunit any earlier. 
Would you still be interested? The JavaScript support is 
still the main issue which needs fixing and it looks 
like a few days of work to be done which Russell and me 
couldn't do yet during the past few months.

For your testGZIP disabled problem - could you please 
check out the current trunk version of SVN whether it 
still persists?

Yours
  Wolfgang
