I have three questions:


(1) What would be a reasonable way to add tests? Should I add an in-process HTTP server. Something along the lines of

https://github.com/danieleggert/HTTPServer/blob/feature/swift2/HTTPServer/SocketServer.swift



(2) How would I go about pulling in libcurl? I could add

#include <curl/curl.h>

to ForSwiftFoundationOnly.h -- but I'd also need to add helpers for variadic function like so:


static inline CURLcode curl_easy_setopt_ptr(CURL *_Nonnull curl, CURLoption option, void *_Nullable a) {
    return curl_easy_setopt(curl, option, a);
}
static inline CURLcode curl_easy_setopt_int(CURL *_Nonnull curl, CURLoption option, int a) {
    return curl_easy_setopt(curl, option, a);
}
static inline CURLcode curl_easy_setopt_wc(CURL *_Nonnull curl, CURLoption option, size_t(*_Nullable a)(char *_Nonnull, size_t, size_t, void *_Nullable)) {
    return curl_easy_setopt(curl, option, a);
}

where should these go?



(3) Is it ok for me to split the libcurl specific code into a separate file, or should I try to keep everything inside NSURLSession.swift?
