To formalize they are now XML-compliant (with some asterisks.)
Also to help syntax highlighters work on them to make their content more
readable.
Also:
- Delete empty comment decorations.
- GHA/checksrc: simplify XML check.
- runtests: fail to load test data with XML prolog missing.

Some curl command-lines are long, often repetitive, and difficult
to read or write:
Before this patch (1 test == 1 line):
- <=78 characters: 1099 tests
- 79-132 characters: 500 tests
- 133+ characters: 217 tests: patch meant to help with some of these.
After this patch:
- <=78 characters: 1288 lines
- 79-132 characters: 526 lines
- 133+ characters: 190 lines
After this patch it's possible to fold long lines into multiple ones.
Folding can reduce greppability, thus this is primarily useful for cases
when the options are repetitive, e.g. a list of form options, headers,
mail parameters and the like.
Closes#19500
To make them explicit, visible, avoid being accidentally trimmed.
Also prevents Git warnings, e.g. on `git am`.
Also:
- runtests: add support for `%spc%` and `%tab%` macros.
- test59: delete non-significant line-ending space.
- spacecheck.pl: drop line-ending whitespace exception for tests.
Closes#19300
To make special newlines more explicit and visible.
Mostly in `<protocol>` sections, some in `<data*>` and `<upload>`.
Reducing the number of `tests/data/test*`:
- CRLF newlines from 21535 to 11337.
- files with mixed newlines from 1335 to 707.
Also delete empty `<protocol>` sections.
Closes#19284
The threee tags `<name>`, `</name>` and `<command>` were frequently used
with a leading space that this removes. The reason this habbit is so
widespread in testcases is probably that they have been copy and pasted.
Hence, fixing them all now might curb this practice from now on.
Closes#12028
missing CRs and modified %hostip
lib556/test556: use a real HTTP version to make test reuse more convenient
make sure the weekday in Date headers matches the date
test61: replace stray "^M" (5e 4d) at the end of a cookie with a '^M' (0d)
Gets the test working with external proxies like Privoxy again.
Closes#6463
are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:
- no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)
B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)
C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Host: [name]:[port]"
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"
no fixed port numbers in use anymore. Starting now, the default ports the
servers use are 8990 - 8993. There's no option to modify these yet, but
changing the $base option in the top of the runtests.pl script.
