HtmlUnit is one of the most useful tools I have ever used. There is not even one tool for automating web related tasks which comes even close to being as good. Honestly, I can't imagine donig my work without HtmlUnit.

Ahmed, and the rest of the HtmlUnit team, I really appeciate your hard work. Hopefully soon, I'll pay my debt to you for all that you have provided for us.
