No. Test is just too generic. HTTP makes more sense, or perhaps something
related to the fact that it is a multi-protocol thingy - perhaps it should go
in the alread-existing Networking category. Things should be categorized by
useful categories, not huge amorphous ones.

WRT multi-file scripts, no, that does not work yet.
