I did say we should be doing this in some other thread we had, so yes, I
think it's a good concept. Ilias I believe has been telling me about
some HTTP (or HTTPS) boot pipeline Linaro has for a while, and with
Adriano's patch to add a simple web server to CI too, yes, a pytest
doing that would be a good next step forward. I'm sure we can find some
sufficient and small stock images to fetch and use.
