I am not shure, that a test for --method is needed. Do you want to see Wget generate a DELETE request if you use --method=DELETE ? Just use -d ;-) But to answer your request: You have to make HTTPServer.pm accept and answer DELETE requests (and POST would be nice then, too). Make a copy of a .px test and change the options of the wget command. [just something personal] I just did that for POST, but I can't see any benefit to add such a test. And perl *really* sucks to me (but hey, i am a C and Java programmer). It took me 45 minutes to understand the perl syntax + the existing test environment code... that is far too much for such a simple test environment. In fact, after that, the actual code change took me 3 minutes. But I know, I forget all about perl within hours or at least days... perl is "hack and forget" and a waste of time (to me, not to everyone). I would prefer a C test environment for a C project, having tests written in C. Regards, Tim
