Limitations

• Framesets/pages with frames/iframes loading pages from multiple domains is not supported. Sahi cannot handle pages which have other pages from different domains embedded in them using iframes or frames. So you cannot have a page from google.com having an iframe with a page from yahoo.com. Note that this is not the same as switching between domains, where you navigate from a google.com page to a yahoo.com page, which will work in Sahi.
• File upload field will not be populated on browsers for javascript verification. File upload itself works fine

NOTE:

• External proxy support with password authentication has been added since V2 2009-01-21 build
• 401 and Windows authentication are available now
