+    THIS DOES NOT WORK
+
+ ***************************************************************************
+
+ Things in curl-land have changed, but the test suite has not been fixed
+ accordingly and thus, the test suite is currently more or less useless.
+
+ *PLEASE* help us fixing this. We have to make our new test server written
+ in C work and get used instead of the perl version previously used.
+
+ The working version of the test server is found here:
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/dev/sws-0.2.tar.gz
+   
+ If you unpack this in the tests/ directory and run the server in there, you
+ can actually get test-responses if you do like this:
+
+ \$ ./sws 8080 &
+ \$ curl localhost:8080/3
+
+EOM
+    ;
+
