I guess I got now what do you actually mean with the fact that Pax
Drone will not fulfill your need. Correct me if I'm wrong.
What you want to do is just to be able to easy startup the target
framework, provision the bundles you need and then use HttpUnit in
your integration tests, tests that are not running into the OSGi
context but external.
And the problem with Pax Drone is that it will actually take your
tests, deploy them into the running OSGi framework and then execute
the tests, so the tests will run within the OSGi context and you do
not need that.
Am I right here?

I will look into it...
