Tests

Hi

David recently suggested to run Curl's test suite againts Polipo. I 
decided to implement a similar approach in Python. It is available on 
Github:

https://github.com/uholzer/polipo/tree/tests

Advantages over Curl's test suite:
- The data sent by Polipo to the server and to the client are both 
tracked.
- The behaviour of the client and the server can be controlled tightly, 
for example sending a request in steps instead of all at once is 
possible.
- Polipo's configuration can be customized for each test case.

Disadvantage:
- There are no test cases. Adapting Curl's test cases should be possible 
but is not trivial.

Running a testcase is done by invoking
./runtests.py N
where N is the number of the test case. (Look into the directory "data" 
for the test cases.) For now, one can only run a single test case per 
invocation. The data Polipo sends is not yet verified and handling of 
other errors (like timeouts) is still missing. Generally, it needs more 
work, but its a start.

What do you think?

Greetings
Urs
