Fixed Save as WebTest in various ways
Allow userscript to override the hostname used to determine upstream IP, without changing the HTTP headers. This enables HOSTS-file type scenarios where a request should be sent to an alternative server.  e.g. in your OnBeforeRequest() handler, put code like: if (oSession.host=="production.example.com") { oSession["x-overrideHost"] = "development.example.com" }  Obviously, this doesn't work if you have an upstream proxy, and you have to just tweak oSession.host directly for those cases.
