This allows to create mock-ups of back-end systems in more complex test situations, for example when the tested application needs to interact with a 3rd-party back-end system which is not available in the testing environment.
Execution of external commandline tools, using their output as request or response data, or for validation purposes.
Copying stream data (e.g. from a response) and re-using it in variables.
Simulating NTLM client and server.
Various functions for url encoding, base64 encoding, math operations and many more.
