Hi, Fabian. I've applied a number of this batch of patches (the short,
trivial ones). That's not to say that the others don't have value, just that
I haven't thought about them much, noone else has chimed in one way or the
other, and they touch thousands of files and it's too late in the day for me
to take the risk. I have a couple of comments, though.

This one seems like it could be useful. I would prefer that the environment
variable be less generic; something with a CURL prefix would be better.

It seems that this one must be combined with the first in order to maintain a
working test system.

Sounds useful. There are plenty of tests with hard-coded test numbers, and there
have been a couple of cases where cut-and-pasting of tests has resulted in
errors due to test numbers not being updated at the same time.

Applied.

Applied.

A reasonable idea. But, there should probably be a test added with a
deliberate weekday/date mismatch to ensure that libcurl still works
with that combination.

Applied.

It's funny how consistently this inconsistency is found in the tests :^) It's
probably a result of many years of cutting-and-pasting a few older tests that
happened to indent these few lines. But I'm all for consistency.

I don't agree with this sole patch. The whole purpose of the test is to ensure
that some future, unknown HTTP version is still handled by libcurl, so this
requires that a "bogus" HTTP version is used, as this version may not be so
bogus in the future.
