Character set in POSIX is set by the locale defined (in decreasing order
of precedence) by the LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LANG environment variables (I
believe CHARSET is only historic). LC_ALL is cleared to ensure that
LC_CTYPE takes effect, but LC_ALL is not used to set the locale to
ensure that other parts of the locale aren't overriden, if set. Since
there doesn't seem to be a cross-platform way of specifying a UTF-8
locale, and not all systems may support UTF-8, a <precheck> is used
(where relevant) to skip the test if UTF-8 isn't in use. Test 1035 was
also converted to UTF-8 for consistency, as the actual character set
used there is irrelevant to the test.
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.
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.
