In fact; I think there is value in having this on-list.
The test drivers are crusty at best. So it's hard to really launch into 
a 'standard' explanation or  way of doing things.
I'd almost be tempted to suggest you look at the DUM stuff if you are 
wanting to write a user-agent.
There is a lot of hair needed on top of the stack if you are doing a 
full user-agent.

Otherwise; I'll bite -- send me some output (off list) showing the 
trouble you've been getting and I'll see if I can get a client/server 
simple test up and going.
With you over the next short while.
