Add time taken for a request and make it accessible in the navigation result

Own classes for basic and anonymous to make authentication pluggable and easier to add new ones by using interface from session.

Needed to try implementation of webclient instead of httpwebrequest due to threading issues. To easier make these kind of changes make the implementation of navigation-mechanism pluggable to session.

Handle posting objects which have properties like arrays of other objects etc.

Able to post just the string data

E.g

var result = session.Get(URL);
IEnumerable li = result.Find("li.odd"); //will return all LI-elements with class="odd"

var session = new Session();
var result = session.Get(URL).Follow("#mylink") => makes another get request which means this could be chained.

Aka cookies.

To enable user to do:
session.Get(URL).Find("h1").Text() -- should check for inner html in all results instead of iterating through each and it should htmldecode

like "#mySelect option[selected='selected']"

Eg.

var result = session.Get(URL);
IEnumerable li = result.Find("//li[@Class="something""); //will find li elements with class="something", returning each hit as string

Should probably have a simple request object (and also have access to a simple response object inside the NavigationResult), which has attributes for URL and DATA instead of passing to params

Perhaps kayak

Check if the newtonsoft lib is necessary

When using in nunit-test-runner, running more than three tests using Response.Headers makes the fourth test hang..

var result = new Session().Get(URL).Submit("#myform") => finds form and uses it's action (url) and submit its method(ex. post) along with data containing

Httpwebrequest clears the authentication-header upon a redirection, this serves as a problem for basic authentication scenarios, therefore upon a redirect a manual request has to be build and pass along the authenticationheader again.

empty or html-based contenttypes should return a HtmlResult where user has .Find etc which are only relevant to html. For application/json there should be a jsonresult which only has convertTo (which uses the json serializer). Make it pluggable to easy add other type of results like text/xml, application/pdf etc.. Fallback on httpresult for unknown types, which only should return response, request and timespent

Extension methods on httpresult for some use cases, e.g result.shouldBePdf(), result.shouldBeOK etc.

Autofollow a certain amount of times, return count on navigation result

HttpWebRequest considers some headers to be special and some not and prepares properties for these, when adding a restricted header an exception is thrown - since Request only handles headers in one way set the properties on httpwebrequest from the navigator to be able to use the "restricted" headers

session.Get("http://domain.com", new { q = "something" } => "http://domain.com?q=something

But it should be returning a IHtmlResult

Currently have dependency to htmlagilitypack.. would be nice to only have one dll in package..
