Hi Henrik,

Yes, I want to do more than authentication,
I want to basically act like a user using
a test account to test basic functionality
of the website.

Does anyone know how I can integrate hobbit with
a test that would check web page logins?

For example, We have a Web Server which connects
to an App. Server which connects to a Database Server.

To test functionality, we login to the Web Server, then enter
data into a form, which stores the information into the database.
This is just a test user account.
Generally, Hobbit's built-in web checking can only request one URL.
However, that one request can include authentication data (if you're
using "basic" HTTP authentication, or X.509 certificate authentication)
as well as posting form data.

If your website is different - e.g. you don't use basic authentication
because it's insufficient, then you'll need to build a custom test
script for yourself.
