Hi,

it is planned to add scenario-style support for all network checks. But
not for soon.

In the old days, bbgen/bbtest-net (addon to bigbrother) used to link to
libcurl. As of 3.x, libcurl has been dropped, and redirect-follow
disapeared.

So I use a stripped-down version of the legacy bbtest-net, and a patched
version of hobbit's bbtest-net that add a --nohttp option, so I can put
my http/cont into the standard bb-hosts.

My setup goes like this:

- standard hobbit bbtest-net that does every network test except http

- http-only network tester

You can fine the patch and the old bbnet tool at my site :
