But I can't seem to find a way to use these classes outside of the Visual Studio's testing framework. Has anyone done this? ...

As a relative newbie in the Java world, I am finding many things frustratingly obtuse to accomplish that are relatively trivial in many other frameworks. A primary example is a simple solution for asynchronous http requests. Seeing as one doesn't seem to already exist, what is the best approach? Creating my own threads using a blocking t...

Hi, I have a few HttpWebRequests and HttpWebResponses chained together, also using CookieContainer. The code simulates a user going through three different 'I agree' pages which set the cookie info, logging in with username and password on a fourth, and doing a POST (search) on the fifth returning the response as a string.
