> As I'm sure questions will arise.. why MockWebServer? Reason is that tests
> based on MWS are resilient to design changes. Ex. we can completely replace
> how annotations are processed without rewriting the test. Moreover, unlike
> ExpectTest, MWS has no dependency on how jclouds represents http requests.
> That means that even changes to our class structure around http requests can
> be made without rewriting tests!
> Once we decouple our tests from jclouds internals, we can change them.
> Also, we divorce ourselves from having to maintain our own test framework
> which has caused problems in flakey tests as well difficulty in
> troubleshooting. Expect test was a nice idea but it was only partially
> realistic, yet took as much or more work to write classes for than MWS.
