Description Greg Nichols 2011-02-24 18:16:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently the network test uses NFS for testing file transfers over TCP.  It would be better to use HTTP for transfer tests.

network test patch adding HTTP transfer subtest

This new subtest is intended to replace the NFS transfer test.  The new subtest uses HTTP POST of a mult-part enclosure to upload the test file to the v7 server.  The v7 server saves the file in the web-acessable v7 store directory.   The network test then downloads the file directly via HTTP GET.   The test verifies the contents of the file via MD5 hash comparisons of the sent file, vs. the received file.
