httpunit 1.7.2 release to Maven central - request for test and fix

Dear httpunit developers,

in the process of preparing the 1.7.2 release which is scheduled to be
put on maven central the following steps have been
done - see the current release notes (you might want to download these
and then use a browser to look at them):
http://httpunit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/httpunit/trunk/httpunit/doc/rele=
ase_notes.html?view=3Dmarkup&pathrev=3D1099

The tracker items from 2009-08 until today have been assigned and
checked. Quite a few patches have made it to be committed:

Thank you for all the participants and for the patience!

You might want to check the trackers for any items that you'd like to
get included in 1.7.2:
Bugs: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3D6550&atid=3D106550
Features: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3D6550&atid=3D356550
Patches: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3D6550&atid=3D306550
Support Requests: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3D6550&atid=3D2=
06550

There are quite a few closed and pending items that simply have not been
included due to missing testcases or patch proposals.
I'll post the developers FAQ in a minute again so that people who would
like to help get to know how they can do it.

For the time being checking the latest state of the repository for
running all tests correctly would be helpful:
> svn checkout -r 1099
> https://httpunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/httpunit/trunk/httpunit
> httpunit1099
> cd httpunit1099
> mvn test
Currently there is still trouble in getting the tests to run.
A proper result should look something like this:
Results :

Tests run: 821, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 8

[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 23.388s

One of the troublesome Tests is WebPageTest.testTitle - it sometimes hangs.
There is a commented "@Ignore" tag in the test which allows to switch it
off.

Please help fixing the remaining problems.
It would also be great to get corrections and additions of the
documentation e.g. instead of ant as a build system we should probably
mention "maven"  now. You are invited to send any documentation update
proposals directly to me.

Thank you for your support.

Yours
  Wolfgang
