Hi Pierre, Thanks for the comments.
I am aware of the fact that we can test php-cgi.exe in various scenarios which is very close to real world. But my code gives the ability to test php-cgi.exe exactly like real world. Most of the people use PHP to host some application. It can be home grown application, a community application or a variance of a community application. This is exactly what the code simulates. And one more clarification it is not dependent on any server or how one has configured to run PHP. It can be IIS/APACHE (or any other server for that matter) and is also not dependent on how you server is configured. It can be mod_php/FastCGI/ISAPI etc. So far as your code can run in the browser, the driver has the ability to test it. The only flaw is that it runs primarily on WINDOWS as it takes a hard dependency on Internet Explorer being the browser. I believe if we found this useful the hard dependency can be removed.

That's what we use for the run-tests cmd in our tree (all platforms), it supports post/upload/get as well. Am I mistaken or what this application does is to remote control IE to load a given URL? This URL being the test we like to test, from the document root? If yes, that's something relatively easy to do using PHP directly (php supports http natively btw). It is also easy to run the test using a given users using runas, that does not match 100% the configuration of IIS+FCGI, but from a PHP only point of view, it covers all cases. Btw, take a look at the server scripts in the php src tree.
