This is a common phrase in software engineering.  The only solution to
achieve code coverage is to instrument httpd with a code coverage tool,
and test it.

See the http://httpd.apache.org/test/ page and the repository at
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/test/framework/trunk/ for the test
framework of httpd.  Patches to increase code coverage would be welcome.

You will not achieve 100% on a single box, due to the platform differences
in the code paths.
