# This is a modified version of Chris Hofmann's <chofmann@netscape.com>
# infamous "browser buster" test harness. It's a bit simpler (CGI
# instead of using cookies; IFRAME instead of FRAMESET), and has some
# extra parameters that make it a bit easier to test with, but it's
# pretty faithful otherwise.
#
# It accepts a couple of parameters, including
#
#   file=<filename> Set this to the name of the file containing
#     the URLs that you want the buster to cycle through. This
#     might be a security hole, so don't run this script on a
#     server with s3kret stuff on it, mmkay?
#
#   page=<number> This is used to maintain state, and is the line
#     number in the file that the buster will pull up in the
#     IFRAME. Set if by hand if you need to for some reason.
#
#   last=<number> The buster will run until it's exhausted all
#     the URLs in the file, or until it reaches this line in the
#     file; e.g., setting it to "5" will load five URLs.
#
#   refresh=<number> The timeout (in seconds) to wait before doing
#     a page refresh, and thus loading the next URL. Defaults to
#     thirty.
