ActiveX controls work in IE8, so they probably wouldn't need to be rewritten or ported. But we'll never know. The UK government is short circuiting the process by asserting just the act of testing would be too burdensome. I call bullshit. [

Obligatory cross-link to codepad: http://codepad.org/ Footnote to history: I liked codepad so much when I first saw it on HN back in 2008, I tracked down the guy who made it (Steve Hazel/sah) and made him my co-founder! :-)

We do have a reverse ssh tunnel thing for that (aka "Sauce Tunnel"). I'd like to think that using it does not require having a strong intestine... But yanking this thread back to being about mogotest... Congrats on the launch, guys!

Things like Mechanize and HTMLUnit are what I call "HTTP-only protocol drivers" and are not a true-fidelity simulation of the HTML+JavaScript environment. This is exactly the reason I created Selenium in the first place. I had regression bu
