Hi!

The captcha.jsp is used when the captcha support is activated; is one of
the top level jsps, so it's difficult to find direct references.

By the way, those JSPs are similar to controllers in MVC. Back, really
back, in the day, they were a handy way of having an easy to redeploy,
"live" servlet, so you could have some kind of inmediate reload. IIRC, the
JSP in JSPWiki stems from those JSPs.

Http-client is also a transitive dependency of the akismet api jar.

best regards,
juan pablo
