Amen to that.

I however do not know what the universally available simplest dummy
HTTP server would be.  There probably are better alternative than
Apache with distro-customized ways of configuration that we have to
adjust.  

A solution around HTTP::Server::Simple sounds attractive but is it
a realistic alternative or too much effort required?  I dunno.
