Description

Right now if you extend the HttpTestBase each and every test checks whether the server is up and running. This is done by writing to the root of the repository. Once some security is in place and writing to root is not possible, all tests fail.

I think it shouldn't be the task of the tests to check if the server is running, they should simply assume the server is available.

The simplest solution for now would be to make this check configurable by a system property
