Subject: Re: Controlling non-IE based application

Watir currently only controls IE, but development for watir
controlling other browser is in development.  No news as to when it
will happen.

If Cassini is being used, it would be running an instance of
IIS+ASP.NET on the client machine.  It's still possible it's calling
out to an external server for some things, but it doesn't have to at
all.

What your saying sounds like they are doing some sort of weird hybrid.
 Still, it should be independent of the browser: an http server is an
http server for all intensive purposes here.  The question becomes
then, how do you get at that.

I'd try all the open ports (tcp -ln) that you can find & can't ID as
standard.  Either use the browser to check for an http server, or
telnet to them, and type in "get" then hit enter.  IIRC that should
return the index.html from the root directory of the http server.
