Replace the network dependency for crawl tests with a self-contained Python
stdlib server (http.server + ssl) that httrack crawls over loopback. The server
binds an ephemeral port and prints it on stdout; local-crawl.sh discovers the
port, substitutes the BASEURL token into the httrack arguments, runs the crawl,
and audits the mirror under the discovered host-root directory.
This prototype migrates two cases off ut.httrack.com:
- 13_local-cookies.test drives the cookie chain (entrance/second/third)
reimplemented as Python handlers from the old ut/cookies/*.php fixtures. A
missing or wrong cookie answers 500, so a clean 3-files/0-errors run proves
the cookie jar is replayed across links.
- 14_local-https.test crawls over HTTPS using a shipped long-dated self-signed
cert. httrack does not verify certs, so the cert is accepted as-is and the
real TLS path runs offline.
The group skips (exit 77) when python3 is missing, mirroring check-network.sh.
Fixtures and the cert are listed explicitly in EXTRA_DIST (automake does not
expand globs); make distcheck passes.
