WML support for httpunit

[david jeanneteau]

Hi,

I'm about to use wmlbrowser to add WML support for httpunit.
Is it allowed to use your source code for httpunit project ?

What mention (on wmlbrowser) should be included in httpunit ?

Regards
David Jeanneteau

Broadly speaking you should be meeting the conditions in the Mozilla
triple license (Mozilla public license, GPL, or LGPL).

Personally speaking I would like to see credit given to the developers,
and any improvements fed back into the wmlbrowser project.

Incidentally, could you explain a little more how wmlbrowser will be
used in httpunit?

Just to remind the home page of httpunit and its license :
http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/doc/license.html . It seems that there
will be some sort of license incompatibility: wmlbrowser is
tri-licensed like Firefox (Mozilla Public License, GPL, LGPL, pick all
or the one you wish, your choice)  but the license of httpunit seems
too permissive (in my understanding nothing prevents a proprietary
fork). In this particular case seems that your permission is
necessary, but since httpunit is an open-source project, I dare to
hope that this won't be a big problem.


Apart from that, I fully support the idea of Babelzilla :
http://www.babelzilla.org/ and I'm waiting for the next release ;)

Very simple: I got  wml.xsl, wml.js and wml.css from wmlbrowser source.

In httpunit:
- detect a wml file
- apply the xsl transformation on wml content

I made some changes in wml.xsl:
- the chrome:// urls were replaced by http://localhost:port ones (wml.css and wml.js)
- in wml.js, one line could not be interpreted by httpunit javascript engine: it is commented out

I had some contact on htmlunit project, and i'm about to turn to this project (httpunit seems to be in 'sleeping' state).

Regards,
David

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think that MPL etc. prevent a proprietary
fork either, just that the source code has to be made available.

It's important to remember that there are other contributors however,
the basis of wmlbrowser wasn't written by me.

I don't have anything significant at the moment I'm afraid. I did have
some ideas for making multi-card navigation work but they didn't come to
anything.

So is the purpose to test WML pages? or wmlbrowser?

David, I don't think you've joined the mailing list. Your messages would
get through more quickly if you did. Also I don't know whether you've
caught the recent messages about licenses.

htmlunit doesn't seem to have a compatible licence either.
