Hello:

  I'm working on a project to benchmark Websites. Our program works as
a spider following every link on the page and measuring loading times
and service quality. So far, we have solved every aspect related with
100% HTML sites. The problem rise when JavaScript is in the middle.

  We are thinking about using Rhino as the JavaScript sections
interpreter, but we don't know where to start. Questions are:
* Can rhino "find" the javascript within the HTML code?
* Can rhino get the required JavaScript libraries to solve the
interpretation? (the libraries stored on the Web Host).
* How can we monitor when Rhino is processing a sentence where another
document is requested? (another page o a image file)

  thankx. If anyone knows of examples doing similar things, they would
be very helpful too.
