NAME

Top

ASNMTAP::Asnmtap::Plugins::WebTransact is a Perl module that provides WebTransact functions used by ASNMTAP-based plugins.

DESCRIPTION

Top

This module implements a check of a Web Transaction.

A Web transaction is a sequence of web pages, often fill out forms, that accomplishes an enquiry or an update. Common examples are database searches and registration activities.
