Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Bugs: ASTERISK-24316
    https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24316


Repository: testsuite


Description (updated)
-------

Currently, all responses from the Asterisk HTTP server contain a [Server] header that identifies Asterisk and its version (e.g. "Server:Asterisk/<version>", where <version> is the currently running version of Asterisk). The preferred behavior is to allow the user to configure an alternate name to use for the value returned in the [Server] header for HTTP responses (e.g. "Server:SomeSuperAwesomeServerName").

This patch to the Asterisk source provides a new configuration property, [servername], in http.conf, that gives users the ability to modify the value that Asterisk uses when identifying itself. 

This test verifies that the HTTP server correctly reports the expected name through the [Server] header field in all HTTP responses. It uses three instances of Asterisk to test the three possible logic paths:
1) No configuration was provided
2) A non-empty/non-null value was provided through the new configuration property [servername]
3) An empty/null value was provided through the new configuration property [servername]

For clarity, consider this example for the possible outcomes as described above, respectively:
1) There was nothing configured for [servername].
2) The user configured a non-empty value for [servername] (e.g. servername="JohnMcClane")
3) The user configured an empty/null value for [servername] (e.g. servername="")

The HTTP server is expected to create the [Server] header field as follows, respectively:
1) Server: Asterisk/<version>
2) Server: JohnMcClane
3) 

In case #3, the [Server] header field will be omitted from HTTP response headers.

***Note*** This is the test. It is only the test. You can find the review for the Asterisk source at: https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/4374/
