There's a new 'http-proxy' server for tests that runs on a separate port
and lets clients do HTTP CONNECT to other ports on the same host to
allow us to test HTTP "tunneling" properly.
Test cases now have a <proxy> section in <verify> to check that the
proxy protocol part matches correctly.
Test case 80, 83, 95, 275, 503 and 1078 have been converted. Test 1316
was added.
When, for a given test, server is instructed to close connection after
server reply we now wait a very small amount of time (50ms) before doing
so. This is done to allow client to, at least partially, read server
reply before getting an ECONNRESET.
The above is required to make test cases 1070, 1200, 1201 and 1202 pass
with Cygwin 1.5.X on W2K.
GOPHER test server closes connection after _every_ server-reply, as such,
at some point it could require a bigger time or using shutdown() before
a server-side initiated disconnection.
This delays between write operations, hopefully making it easier
to spot problems where libcurl doesn't flush the socket properly
before waiting for the next response.
"Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the
response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it
would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and
sad faces. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222
Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when
getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note
"http upload: how to stop on error" specifies:

by Ben Sutcliffe. The test when run manually shows a problem in curl,
but the test harness web server doesn't run the test correctly so it's
disabled for now.
server input and response request files of the test harness sws server.
Reintroduce, for test # 1001, the <postcheck> small delay. The delay is
needed even with the accelerated writing of server input and response
request files in test harness sws server.
