'Send Params' Checkbox bug #4425

[ne...@asia1.com]

Hi,

As Mike put it 'the gui would not be harder to use if the checkbox 
was not there'.  The only good thing which the checkbox can provide 
is that it allows you to hit a web page with or without parms by just 
checking/unchecking the checkbox.  Is this that useful?

Also, in the bug report I don't understand what is meant by 'if I 
created the Web Test using the proxy server, arguments are 
added, but the checkbox isn't checked'.  What arguments are we 
talking about?  Can someone provide me with sample arguments added?  
Sorry but maybe I'm a bit dense here.

I vote to remove the checkbox since it's not that useful.  If anyone 
disagree, pls give your views on how it should behave and I'll 
correct it accordingly.

Thanks.

neth

The point about the checkbox is that 
1.  It doesn't actually add any behavior (the web test sends whatever
parameters regardless of whether the box is checked).  The only real
behavior is that you can't edit the arguments unless the box is 
checked.  If
the checkbox simply weren't there, the GUI would be no harder to use 
or
understand.

2.  If you uncheck a checked box, all the parameters get erased and 
are
unretrievable.  It's too easy to accidentally click on it, or click it
experimentally.
