All Implemented Interfaces:

public class DebuggingWebConnection extends WebConnectionWrapper
Wrapper around a "real" WebConnection that will use the wrapped web connection to do the real job and save all received responses in the temp directory with an overview page.

This may be useful at conception time to understand what is "browsed".

Example: 
 final WebClient client = new WebClient();
 final WebConnection connection = new DebuggingWebConnection(client.getWebConnection(), "myTest");
 client.setWebConnection(connection);
In this example an overview page will be generated under the name myTest/index.html in the temp directory and all received responses will be saved into the myTest folder.

This class is only intended as a help during the conception.
