# The urls below are links to the following framework prerequisties and may be changed if any of the urls are inactive. The
# aim of this automation is to save some of your time in downoading each prerequisite one-by-one (manually) to
# save you some time:
# - Python 2.4
#       The scripts all run from Python 2.4. You will need the windows version (not the cygwin version).
# - Python Win32 Extensions
#       These extensions provide some support for process management and performance monitoring.
# - Numerical Python
#       This is required by Matplotlib.
# - Matplotlib
#       This library is used to plot the graphs of performance characteristics of Firefox during the page load test. 
# - PySyc
#       This is used for reading/writing config files in YAML.
#
# Developer's comments:
# what about -U agent-string ? "Mozilla"
