    collective.testcaselayer 1.2 includes some patches for functional browser testing

To use these patches, include the collective.testcaselayer
configure.zcml.  The patches address some bugs in
Testing.ZopeTestCase.

Data streamed to the response
-----------------------------

Due to some behavior in Testing.ZopeTestCase.zopedoctest.functional,
the testbrowser.contents was empty when data had been streamed
directly into the response (as opposed to returning the data from the
callable published).  This made it difficult to do functional testing
for code that needed to stream data to the response for performance,
such as when the response data is very large and would consume too
much memory.

HTTP_REFERRER
-------------

Due to `bug #98437 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/98437>`_,
"TestBrowser Referer: header set to 'localhost'", some testbrowser
requests would raise NotFound.  Two examples would be visiting the
Plone login_form directly rather than following a link, or using the
Plone content_status_history form.
