Using RestFixtures a

Could not complete testing: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: The Security Manager is deprecated and will be removed in a future release

@enexusde is the exception thrown from RestFixture code (if so you should probably file the issue at https://github.com/smartrics/RestFixture), or from FitNesse itself?

If the error comes from FitNesse, can you provide a stack trace where the exception is thrown and preferably a reproduction path using the only code present in this project?

I stumbled upon this due to the exact error messages. This is fixed in the recent version, as can be seen in the Changelog:
