Tests: use (?P<name>...) to be compatible with old PCRE versions. Perl-style syntax (?<name>...) is only supported by PCRE 7.0+, while some OSes out there still use PCRE 6.6. Since there are no problems in nginx with (?P<name>...) syntax now, it should be safe to use Python syntax instead (at worst a bit more tests will be broken in case of regression).

Test suite for nginx.

Use prove to run tests as one usually do for perl tests.  Individual tests
may be run as well.

Note: tests run nginx (and backend daemons if needed) listening on localhost
and may use various ports in 8000 .. 8999 range.

Usage:

    $ TEST_NGINX_BINARY=/path/to/nginx prove .

By default tests expect nginx binary to be at ../nginx/objs/nginx.

Environment variables:

TEST_NGINX_BINARY

    Sets path to nginx binary to be tested, defaults to "../nginx/objs/nginx".

TEST_NGINX_VERBOSE

    Be a bit more verbose (in particular, print requests sent and responses
    got from nginx).  Note that this requires prove -v (or HARNESS_VERBOSE).

TEST_NGINX_LEAVE

    If set temporary directory with configs and logs won't be deleted on test
    completion.  Usefull for debugging.

TEST_NGINX_CATLOG

    Cat error log to stdout after test completion.  Usefull for debugging.

TEST_NGINX_UNSAFE

    Run unsafe tests.

Happy testing!
