The knownfail +# tests might be fixed one day, even accidentally, but these ones will +# not. +# +# Before adding tests here, consider rewriting the test so that the +# expected result is a failure. The tests in here are typically +# testing the use of some protocol or feature on a server that has +# that feature turned off. The same tests will also be run against +# another server where they do not fail. The downside of this method +# is we don't know that these expected fail tests are failing in the +# right way. +# +# Empty lines and lines beginning with '#' are ignored. +# +# Please don't add tests to this README! |
