...after the method line:
"Since the Host field-value is critical information for handling a
request, a user agent SHOULD generate Host as the first header field
following the request-line." / RFC 7230 section 5.4
Additionally, this will also make libcurl ignore multiple specified
custom Host: headers and only use the first one. Test 1121 has been
updated accordingly

are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a
HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the
response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked
encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body.
To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad
HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly
when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the
actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test
cases got really painful and boring.
A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:
- no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)
B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)
C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Host: [name]:[port]"
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"
no fixed port numbers in use anymore. Starting now, the default ports the
servers use are 8990 - 8993. There's no option to modify these yet, but
changing the $base option in the top of the runtests.pl script.
