HttpURLConnection hardcodes the HTTP methods it supports and throws exceptions for others [1]. I'd like to see if there is a way from Java 9 onward to support PATCH and WebDAV while maintaining the integrity of using HttpURLConnection as much as possible.

Per #7, scripting will be deprecated. This issue will track the removal of scripting entirely.

The scripting option needs to be removed from Jttp. There are too many scripting languages available that run on the JRE, and supporting them all would be impossible. Furthermore, with JDK 14, Nashorn which is the default scripting engine has been removed entirely from Java.

I'd like to have translations of the messages to various languages.

OAuth is usable by jttp, but requires you to write a script to authenticate, get the initial code, then obtain a bearer token. It'd be better to support OAuth so that a bearer token can be obtained and persisted for a session without an additional script.

Need some help with this idea, but jttp needs to support HTTP/2 and ideally without using the classes java.net.http package or other external dependencies.

I like the Java ecosystem and XML is a big part of that which is why it was chosen for persisting session data. There needs to be wiki pages (or even GitHub pages--maybe???) written to document the schema.

The session tracking mechanism was planned not only to enhance usage of websites that need authentication, but to automate repeated tasks or even tests against APIs for example. A playback of a session based on the contents of the history.xml file would achieve this to some degree.

Some things to think about are:

1. Session timeouts (session tokens don't last forever)
2. Sensitive data (somehow keep that in a keystore?)
