Frederic Lecaille 0839fb46db REGTESTS: ssl: Move all the SSL certificates, keys, crt-lists inside "certs" directory
Move all these files and others for OCSP tests found into reg-tests/ssl
to reg-test/ssl/certs and adapt all the VTC files which use them.

This patch is needed by other tests which have to include the SSL tests.
Indeed, some VTC commands contain paths to these files which cannot
be customized with environment variables, depending on the location the VTC file
is runi from, because VTC does not resolve the environment variables. Only macros
as ${testdir} can be resolved.

For instance this command run from a VTC file from reg-tests/ssl directory cannot
be reused from another directory, except if we add a symbolic link for each certs,
key etc.

 haproxy h1 -cli {
   send "del ssl crt-list ${testdir}/localhost.crt-list ${testdir}/common.pem:1"
 }

This is not what we want. We add a symbolic link to reg-test/ssl/certs to the
directory and modify the command above as follows:

 haproxy h1 -cli {
   send "del ssl crt-list ${testdir}/certs/localhost.crt-list ${testdir}/certs/common.pem:1"
 }

                 * Regression testing for HAProxy with VTest *


This little README file is about how to compile and run vtest test case files (VTC files)
to test HAProxy for any regression.

To do so, you will have to compile vtest program sources which depends on
Varnish cache application sources. vtest, formerly varnishtest, is a very useful
program which has been developed to test Varnish cache application. vtest has been
modified in collaboration with Varnish cache conceptor Poul-Henning Kamp to support
HAProxy in addition to Varnish cache.

See also: doc/regression-testing.txt

* vtest compilation *

    $ git clone https://github.com/vtest/VTest2

    $ cd VTest

    $ make vtest

  Then vtest program may be found at the root directory of vtest sources directory.
  The Varnish cache manuals are located in 'man' directory of Varnish cache sources
  directory. You will have to have a look at varnishtest(7) and vtc(7) manuals to
  use vtest.

  Some information may also be found in doc/regression-testing.txt in HAProxy
  sources.

  Note that VTC files for Varnish cache may be found in bin/varnishtest/tests directory
  of Varnish cache sources directory which may be found here:
  https://github.com/varnishcache/varnish-cache


* vtest execution *

  You must set HAPROXY_PROGRAM environment variable to give the location
  of the HAProxy program to test to vtest:

    $ HAPROXY_PROGRAM=<my haproxy program> vtest ...

  The HAProxy VTC files found in HAProxy sources may be run with the reg-tests
  Makefile target. You must set the VTEST_PROGRAM environment variable to
  give the location of the vtest program which has been previously compiled.

    $ VTEST_PROGRAM=<my vtest program> make reg-tests

  "reg-tests" Makefile target run scripts/run-regtest.sh script.
  To get more information about this script run it with --help option.

  Note that vtest is run with -t10 and -l option. -l option is to keep
  keep vtest temporary directory in case of failed test cases. core files
  may be found in this directory (if enabled by ulimit).


* vtest patches for HAProxy VTC files *

  When producing a patch to add a VTC regression testing file to reg-tests directory,
  please follow these simple rules:

    - If your VTC file needs others files, if possible, use the same basename as that
      of the VTC file,
    - Put these files in a directory with the same name as the code area concerned
      by the bug ('peers', 'lua', 'acl' etc).

Please note that most tests use a common set of timeouts defined by the
environment variable HAPROXY_TEST_TIMEOUT. As much as possible, for regular I/O
(i.e. not errors), please try to reuse that setting so that the value may
easily be adjusted when running in some particularly slow environments, or be
shortened to fail faster on developers' machines.
