Change default for CaptureCONNECT to True

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.
