-The purpose of this test is to make sure the --proto-default option works
-properly. We specify a default protocol of FTP and if the option works properly
-curl will use the FTP protocol. If the option is broken however curl will use
-the HTTP protocol.
-In the broken scenario curl would use HTTP to talk to our FTP server. We handle
-that by replying with something that both protocols can understand. Our FTP
-server allows a custom welcome message, so we use that feature to make an HTTP
-reply that contains an FTP reply (think polyglot). In the case of FTP we expect
-curl will return CURLE_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY so we test for that return code.
