Hey, No issues. There would be little use for us mentors if you understood everything on the first go.
Yes, you're right. Pre-hooks are executed before the Wget executable is invoked and the Post-test hooks are invoked after. However, there's three different types of hooks: 1. Pre-Test Hooks 2. Post-Test Hooks 3. Test Rules The Pre-Test rules are used to set up the test environment, e.g.: creating a local directory structure. The Post-Test rules are used to check the results of the command. These can be checking the exit code, the list of downloaded files and their contents and a lot of other things The Test Rules are used to configure the Test Server. For each test, a custom HTTP Server is created with a certain set of rules. These could be asking for authentication, setting page redirects or setting cookies.
