Whenever I develop any http server app, my unit tests include a mock http
client and I use it
to *really* know what the server (isapi, cgi, servlet) is sending back. I
don't see how you could
reliably measure the server output otherwise.

Just my 0.02,

Yeah, I just want to try and set it up so I don''t have to depend on a
webserver being there to run automated tests. Perhaps if I set up
something with webrick?

The other option I can think of is to redirect the output from the
script into the input on the HTTP client and avoid the HTTP server
altogether. How do you do it?
