            Bug ID: 152486
           Summary: Make it straightforward to start the Web Platform
                    Tests HTTP server using run-webkit-httpd
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

In order to run a test in LayoutTests/imported/w3c/web-platform-tests outside of run-webkit-tests you need to follow the instructions in <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/README.md?rev=191043> to start the Web Platform Tests HTTP server. Although these instructions are straightforward it is less convenient to start the Web Platform Tests HTTP server than it is to run script run-webkit-httpd to start a HTTP server to serve the HTTP tests in LayoutTests/http/tests/. We should consider teaching run-webkit-httpd to start the Web Platform Tests server.

For completeness, run-webkit-tests knows how to start the Web Platform Tests HTTP server as part of its logic to run the Web Platform Tests. We should look to start up the Web Platform Tests in a similar manner as run-webkit-tests or, even better, look to have run-webkit-tests use run-webkit-httpd to start up all HTTP servers.
