I wasn't aware of Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway so I'm not entirely sure =20
how it compares...


 From a quick look:

The 'http' mailer posts the report to an URL,

'Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway' takes a HTTP requests and uses the =20
parameters in it to send the email.


If someone is stuck behind a firewall then they can currently set up =20
Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway on another server but they have (I think!) =20
no (easy) way of sending the Smoke reports to it.


It can currently not be used directly by the 'http' mailer.
(Test::Reporter::HTTPGateway sends it to an address specified in the =20
code while the 'http' mailer add parameters for the To, Cc and Bcc)


Kind regards,
