I think it was combination of carelessness and not caring about an
incomplete platform environment well enough.
It appears to me that only a few tests in the entire script wants to
work with HTTP server, so perhaps moving them to the end, together
with the inclusion of lib-httpd and start_httpd that 438fc684 ("push
options: pass push options to the transport helper", 2017-02-08)
introduced, may be sufficient?
Thanks.
