James,

I've looked at Latka briefly.  Its validators concept look unique and =
flexible.
It will be a great functional testing tool for not only HTTP/HTTPS.  =
Compared it
with HttpUnit, HttpUnit is more focused on and mature for HTTP unit =
testing.
HttpUnit does a great job in modelling the objects such as buttons, =
forms,
links, etc that interacting with them is easy.  It is currently missing =
from
Latka.  I believe having a Jelly tag library for HttpUnit makes it more =
valuable
for developers to do unit testing.

I'm open to the idea of having a single code base.  Is it a bigger =
question for
Latka and HttpUnit?  If Latka and HttpUnit deserve to be separate, =
separate
Jelly tag librarys make sense.
