I really like this approach, particularly because it opens up the possibility of writing more fine-grained tests in other contexts (e.g., testing how a bundle-uri client handles different kinds of erroneous server responses by intercepting and customizing those responses).

This works because all usage of 'TEST_PROGRAMS_NEED_X' are either lazily evaluated (in the case of 'TEST_PROGRAMS') or are assigned later in the 'Makefile' than the addition here (in the case of 'test_bindir_programs').

On a related note, I think it would be helpful to mention 'test-http-server' in the "=== Optional library: libcurl ===" section of the documentation at the top of the Makefile, to clarify that it (like 'git-http-fetch' and 'git-http-push') are not built.

A lot of the functions in this file are modified versions of ones in 'daemon.c'. It would help reviewers/future readers to mention that in the commit message.

My comments are mostly going to be around the similarities/differences from 'daemon.c', hopefully to understand how 'test-http-server' is meant to be used.

This looks like the 'LOG_DESTINATION_STDERR' case of 'logreport()' in 'daemon.c', but adds a "label" to represent the priority. Makes sense; these logs will be helpful to have in stderr when running tests, and the priority will be captured as well.

These two functions replace the "priority" int with the "label" string, but otherwise capture the same information.

This function is identical to its 'daemon.c' counterpart; its usage in 'test-http-server.c' doesn't indicate any need to differ.

As much as I love the name, I'm not sure having this value defined makes much sense as its own "state". AFAICT, 'WR_IO_ERROR' means "error AND exit", but 'WR_HANGUP' just means "exit", so the latter is a superset of the former. Even if you interpret 'WR_HANGUP' as "*no* error and exit", that makes it and 'WR_IO_ERROR' mutually exclusive, so the "combined" state doesn't represent anything "real".

This tries to write the response out to stdout (optional nit: you could use 'STDOUT_FILENO' instead of '1' to make this clearer), and sets 'WR_IO_ERROR' if it fails.

This will trigger if 'wr' is 'WR_HANGUP' *or* 'WR_IO_ERROR'. Is that intentional? If it is, I think 'wr != 'WR_OK' might make that more obvious?

Then finish by closing out 'stdin' and 'stdout', and returning '0' for "no error", '1' for "error".

This is mostly the same as 'daemon.c', but uses 'xcalloc()' instead of 'CALLOC_ARRAY()'. The latter is an alias for the former, so this is fine.

The extra context provided by this message could be helpful in debugging. If nothing else, it doesn't hurt.

All of these functions match 'daemon.c' (save for some whitespace fixups).

This is the only difference in this function from 'daemon.c' (there, the first arg is 'NULL', which ends up mapping to 'INADDR_ANY'). Why the change in default?

This function differs from 'daemon.c' by using removal of the 'pid_file' to force a graceful shutdown of the server.

Setting a timeout here (if 'pid_file' is present) allows us to operate in a mode where the removal of a 'pid_file' indicates that the server should shut down.

'nr_ready < 0' indicates an error [1]; handle the same way as 'daemon.c'.

...and that timeout exists so that we can check whether the 'pid_file' still exists and, if so, shut down gracefully.

Otherwise, 'nr_ready > 1', so handle the polled events.

This addition logs the shutdown and closes out sockets. Looks good!

I thought this was a leftover debug printout, but it turns out that 'serve()' in 'daemon.c' has the same message. :)

Since this isn't part of 'test-tool', it needs to do its own trace2 setup, but it seems to be missing some of the relevant function calls. Could you include 'trace2_cmd_list_config()' and 'trace2_cmd_list_env_vars()' as well?

Can this loop be replaced with 'parse_options()' and the appropriate 'struct option[]'? Newer test helpers ('test-bundle-uri', 'test-cache-tree', 'test-getcwd') have been using it, and it generally seems much easier to work with/more flexible than a custom 'if()' block (handling option negation, interpreting both '--option=<value>' and '--option value' syntax etc.).

That said, it looks this was mostly pulled from 'daemon.c' (which might predate 'parse_options()'), so I'd also understand if you want to keep it as similar to that as possible. Up to you!

The rest of the function is "new", but is well-documented and appears to work as intended.

One last note/suggestion - while a lot of the functions in 'test-http-server.c' are modified from those in 'daemon.c', there are a fair number of identical functions as well. Would it be possible to libify some of 'daemon.c's functions (mainly by creating a 'daemon.h' and making the functions non-static) so that they don't need to be copied?
