[erlang-questions] [ANN] etest and etest_http 1.0.0.beta

[Zabrane Mickael]

Hi John-Paul & Wooga Team,

Thanks for sharing.
I played a bit with etest_http and found it very useful.

How one çan use these macros under CommonTest?
Are you planning to add any stateful feature to it (eg. to be able to play or replat full HTTP sessions) ?

Anyway, well done guys.

Regards,
Zabrane
