It's great to see SimpleTest effort being taken to
"higher gear" : do 
you have plans to commit your effort back to the SimpleTest
project ? Or 
is it a simple fork to be available somewhere else ?

Next week will mark the end of PHP4 support here, and a
rewrite of the 
browser is on the roadmap (and even on our ideas' list). I'm
not quite 
sure we would have taken the CURL route (and therefore
adding a new 
dependency) but then again...

PS : by the way, could our "ideas" about this
"PHP browser" make it 
under the Drupal umbrella for the GSOC 2008 ? We have a page
dedicated 
to it on our website : http://simpletest
.org/en/ideas.html

Yours,

	Perrick
