Test Case Generation

Both this document and the indiviual test "scripts" are generated from one single XML source (httpcontenttype.xml), using an XSLT2 transformation (httpcontenttype.xslt).

To generate the files, an XSLT2 processor such as Saxon 9 is needed. Copy both files into an empty directory, then run:

saxon9 httpredirects.xml httpredirects.xslt > index.html

Note that this will also generate a set of "asis" files that contain the actual test cases. These can be served using the Apache httpd mod_asis module.
