All languages are encouraged 1) to implement the standard Thrift test. This
test is the basic test to ensure interoperability across languages for all
features implemented. So if we have a http server, that thing should be
testable. The [command line syntax is
documented](http://thrift.apache.org/test/#test-executable-specification) and
works the same way for all languages.
So yes, it would be good to have this integrated into the ThriftTest server
and controlled via the ```--transport http(s)``` parameter. The client already
supports it, [the server throws an error right
now](https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/master/test/go/src/common/server.go#L92).

1) one could also say "required" and it would not be wrong
