I am the wrong guy to answer that ;-). I already stated my preferation of C
code. But that won't help you, since you are fixed to Python.
Here are some spontaneous ideas (braindump).
An option would be to support XML (e.g. Test-xyz.xml) and a simple key/value
text file (e.g. Test-xyz.txt). Both, XML and TXT have their pros and cons. So I
won't say, one is better than the other... but it gives contributors a choice.
Just a quick shot:
# Server settings
server.file.name="file.html"
server.file.body="<html>dontcare</html>"
# server.response.code="200 dontcare"
# Wget options
wget_options="-d -c"
# Wget result code
wget_result=0
# client file existing before request
client.existfile.name=$server.file.name
client.existfile.body="<html>dontcare</ht"
# expected client file after request
client.file.name=$server.file.name
client.file.body=$server.file.body
You will just have two input file parsers, but the core of the test suite will
stay the same as with XML only.
A few other ideas:
Maybe you can rename 'Special' to 'Server' or 'ServerRules' or something.
I find 'Special' is too generic and unintuitive.
You could simplify the server / special rules.
'Content Disposition' can be substituted by 'Header'.
When having a 'Code' element, you maybe won't need a 'Redirect' element
('Code' and 'header' can substitute 'Redirect' !?)
