For a long time (29508e1 "Isolate shared HTTP request functionality", Fri
Nov 18 11:02:58 2005), we've followed HTTP redirects with
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION.
However, when the remote HTTP server returns a redirect the default
libcurl action is to change a POST request into a GET request while
following the redirect, but the remote http backend does not expect
that.
Fix this by telling libcurl to always keep the request as type POST with
CURLOPT_POSTREDIR.
For users of libcurl older than 7.19.1, use CURLOPT_POST301 instead,
which only follows 301s instead of both 301s and 302s.

SKIP messages are now part of the TAP plan. A TAP harness now knows
why a particular test was skipped and can report that information. The
non-TAP harness built into Git's test-lib did nothing special with
these messages, and is unaffected by these changes.

We actually expect to see an application/x-git-upload-pack-result
but we lied and said we Accept *-response. This was a typo on my
part when I was writing the code.
Fortunately the wrong Accept header had no real impact, as the
deployed git-http-backend servers were not testing the Accept
header before they returned their content.

Unfortunately at least one version of libcurl has a bug causing
it to include "Accept: */*" in the same POST request where we have
already asked for "Accept: application/x-git-upload-pack-response".
This is a bug in libcurl, not Git, or our test vector. The
application has explicitly asked the server for a single content
type, but libcurl has mistakenly also told the server the client
application will accept */*, which is any content type.
Based on the libcurl change log, this "Accept: */*" header bug
may have been fixed in version 7.18.1 released March 30, 2008:
http://curl.haxx.se/changes.html#7_18_1
Rather than require users to upgrade libcurl we change the test
vector to trim this line out of the 2nd request.

Some versions of libcurl report their output when GIT_CURL_VERBOSE
is set differently than other versions do. At least one variant
(version unknown but likely pre-7.18.1) reports the POST payload to
stderr, and omits the blank line after each HTTP request/response.
We clip these lines out of the stderr output now before doing the
compare, so we aren't surprised by this trivial difference.

The top level directory "/smart/" of the test Apache server is mapped
through our git-http-backend CGI, but uses the same underlying
repository space as the server's document root. This is the most
simple installation possible.
Server logs are checked to verify the client has accessed only the
smart URLs during the test. During fetch testing the headers are
also logged from libcurl to ensure we are making a reasonably sane
HTTP request, and getting back reasonably sane response headers
from the CGI.
When validating the request headers used during smart fetch we munge
away the actual Content-Length and replace it with the placeholder
"xxx". This avoids unnecessary varability in the test caused by
an unrelated change in the requested capabilities in the first want
line of the request. However, we still want to look for and verify
that Content-Length was used, because smaller payloads should be
using Content-Length and not "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
When validating the server response headers we must discard both
Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding, as Apache2 can use either
format to return our response.
During development of this test I observed Apache returning both
forms, depending on when the processes got CPU time. If our CGI
returned the pack data quickly, Apache just buffered the whole
thing and returned a Content-Length. If our CGI took just a bit
too long to complete, Apache flushed its buffer and instead used
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
