[webkit-dev] Another WPT bite

Yeah, it’s a pretty big concern if you can’t just drop a simple test case into a browser.

This might be a reason to prefer WPT tests when you know you’re testing something whose behavior depends on http. But in all other cases, the ability for a test to be a self-contained file that can run in any browser, upload to a bug tracker, and so on, is super valuable.
