Sorry to take so long to respond. I believe the current behavior is to
simply wait for a connection. I don't think it currently checks the
response in any way. You are welcome to enter a Bugzilla enhancement
request. Since my cycles available for WTP these days are pretty
limited, it would very likely need a patch to get the feature added.
Default behavior would be the same as the current behavior.
Cheers,
Larry
