Thanks for keeping it up Fabian. I'm in favor of making sure that the curl
test suite can be re-used for more purposes as I believe it can help improving
more code and it will help the test suite and thus it also improves curl
itself.

I'm fine with all of them really. My only gripe is that they add functionality
and features not really exposed or exercised by curl itself so there's a big
risk that we ruin this by mistake as we go along.

It would be good to add a test for curl that uses the feature for that reason
alone.

That would indeed be nicer and it would then properly allow you to polish and
improve that script independently of our script.

... but you're still proposing we merge it?
