Couldn't a client-side HTTP proxy be used to remove the need for 
something to be installed on the server side, and thus make it possible 
to use Selenium for any web application, not just those for which there 
is server-side access? Just a thought, since Selenium sounds very 
intriguing, but the server-side requirement seems a bit onerous.
