Hello, I wanted to share some of the progress that's being made in URL testing. About 600 test cases are available in JSON format here: https://raw.github.com/cweb/url-testing/master/urls.json Most of these have been collected from Webkit as referenced in the JSON file. While usable, there's more work required before this could be called stable: - The "expected" results are currently based mostly on what Webkit expects, as a majority of these are taken from Webkit's test framework. - I plan to add a descriptive comment to each test case. - I plan to curate each test case more closely to catch any errors in the data. My main question to the list: How should the "expected results" be determined for each test case? I've also started building a test page, which is in a very rough work-in-progress stage, located at http://www.lookout.net/test/url/. It's based from Simon Pieters and the W3C test framework. See http://simon.html5.org/test/url/relative-resolution.html and http://darobin.github.com/test-harness-tutorial/docs/using-testharness.html More test cases and test groupings are always welcome. For Web browser testing, further plans include using a server-side component to test equivalence between the DOM representation and what's sent on the wire in a GET request. Best regards, Chris
