http-server-e2e

An independent, rigorous E2E test suite for @pkg-nec/http-server.

Purpose: To verify that new upstream versions work flawlessly, prevent regressions, and transparently track known behavior changes over time.

Version Verification Log

v14.3.1 & v14.3.0

• Status: Verified Stable.
• Details: All core E2E tests pass flawlessly with no regressions detected.

v14.2.0

• Status: Verified Stable (with known behavior change).
• Details: Documented a change in the html-encoding-sniffer package. It was upgraded to conform to the WHATWG Encoding Standard, resulting in iso-8859-1 being correctly aliased to windows-1252. Our test suite was updated to strictly verify this compliance across legacy and modern versions.

v14.1.4 & v14.1.2

• Status: Verified Baseline Stability.
• Details: Established robust testing for core features:
  • minimist: CLI flag parsing, CORS, caching, --no-dotfiles, and --tls alias.
  • portfinder: Fallback port allocation when default ports are blocked.
  • Architecture: Built with strict process isolation and dynamic OS-level port allocation to prevent EADDRINUSE race conditions during parallel test execution.

Running the Suite

To run the test suite locally against a specific upstream version:

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone <repo-url>
cd http-server-e2e

# 2. Install a target version of the server
npm install @pkg-nec/http-server@14.3.1

# 3. Execute the Tap-based parallel test suite
npm test
