Adding this to curl's test suite seems trivial compared to writing an entirely new test suite. > - The behaviour of the client and the server can be controlled tightly, > for example sending a request in steps instead of all at once is > possible. Same here. > - Polipo's configuration can be customized for each test case. I believe that's already possible (but haven't actually tested it). > Disadvantage: > - There are no test cases.

Having said that, once there are more tests I'll certainly give your test suite a closer look as it might be useful for Privoxy testing. > What do you think? If you are going to work on a new test suite, in my opinion it would make sense to concentrate on tests that aren't already covered by curl's test suite anyway and can't be easily added. That's what I did (or at least tried to do) with Privoxy's regression test suite which mostly tests Privoxy-specific behaviour that would be non-trivial to test with the constraints of curl's test suite: http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/tools/privoxy-regression-test.pl?view=markup http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/regression-tests.action?view=markup As your test format seems to be rather similar to curl's test format already, it would probably also make sense to aim for complete compatibility so curl's tests work with your framework unmodified.
