[ptt-users] Problem with HTTPProtocol.connect(1)

[Frank Cohen]

Sorry about that clipped message Aaron. I hit the "send" button too  
quickly! :-)

Browsers handle redirects differently. I proposed creating an option  
in the HTTPProtocol handler to emulate different browser behaviors.  
I'm still wanting to do so but I have my hands full with TestMaker 5  
work for the moment. The work entails modifying HTTPProtocol.java to  
add the domain name and document preamble to the redirected site when  
emulating MS Explorer. There are also some use cases to support when  
redirects go from https to http URLs. If anyone wants to do this work  
I'm happy to get it integrated into the next TestMaker maintenence  
distribution.
