Hi Ed,

thank you for your e-mail. HttpUnit ist much older than the term comet. 
Frankly I heard of comet for the first time today and had to look it up at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29

The Ajax and Javascript question has been asked here multiple times - 
please read the FAQ for this. The short answer is:
There is only limited Javascript  support in httpunit and the new 2.0 
engine has not been developed any further for more than two years now.

Progress is blocked by limited development resources. There are 
currently only two comitters with a reaction time of a few weeks to a 
few months.
There is an intention to do a maintainance release soon which will not 
change the javascript situation.

Personally I think it is ok if httpunit stays in its current form which 
is well suited for non - javascript or not-so-heavy javascript webpages.
The main feature of httpunit is the browser indepence. There are quite a 
few alternatives to httpunit at this time - httpunit has a classic and 
proven approach compared to these.

Yours

Wolfgang
