Well, as I wanted to test Davids Headers rewrite patch I needed to do
a first hack of a TestHttpServer.

Here we go:

The TestHttpServer has methods to set the Headers and the Body it
should return upon request. Furthermore it provides an interface
which can be implemented to test the serverside received headers and body.

As I am not experienced in this networking area this might be a hack.
However a hack which is working so far :-)

I also wrote two tests to show the usage.

responseCodeTest - test for all error codes the correct handling for
                   getInputStream and getErrorStream.
responseHeadersTest - tests everything with response headers.

	* gnu/testlet/java/net/HttpURLConnection/TestHttpServer.java: New file.
	* gnu/testlet/java/net/HttpURLConnection/responseCodeTest.java:
	New test using TestHttpServer.java.
	* gnu/testlet/java/net/HttpURLConnection/responseHeadersTest.java:
	Likewise.


Comments or OK to commit ?
BTW, whats the best port to use for the TestHttpServer ?
