The file format of the test suite is a very simple and extendable format. All
data for a single test case resides in a single ASCII file. Labels mark the
beginning and the end of all sections. Each label must be written in its own
line and is resembling XML/HTML.
Each file is split up in three main sections: reply, client and verify. The
reply section is used for the server to know what to send as a reply for the
requests curl sends, the client section defines how the client should behave
while the verify section defines how to verify that the data stored after a
command has been run ended up correctly.
Each main section has a number of available subsections that can be
specified, that will be checked/used if specified. This document includes all
the subsections currently supported.
<reply>
<data>
data to sent to the client on its request
</data>
<datacheck>
if the data is sent but this is what should be checked afterwards
</datacheck>
<size>

</size>
<cmd>

changing protocol data such as port numbers or user-agent strings.
