Hi David,

You might want to look at
http://www.measurement-factory.com/products/co-advisor/

While our tool does not cover everything you want, it may be a closer
match than HttpUnit and, given sufficient interest, we would be happy
to add features, etc.

I owe W3C compliance group a Web page discussing available HTTP
compliance suites and related issues. The lack of vendor interest
prevented me from making it a priority, unfortunately. If you do not
mind, please keep me posted on your survey results.

Thank you,

Alex.
