Not that I disagree with you, but I wouldn't want to write tests like that, even with a DSL -- I'd rather fireup HTTP::Proxy or selenium or WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, and record a session in my firefox

It has been a while since I did that kind of testing...is HTTP::Recorder still the state-of-the-art or have things moved forward in the last 6 years?

UPDATE: I just noticed there is a newer release as of July 2011.
