Tests assuming apache_mod, failing in cgi. [#668654]

The common.test contains this function.

  function testDrupalHTTPRequestBasicAuth() {
    $username = $this->randomName();
    $password = $this->randomName();
    $url = url('system-test/auth', array('absolute' => TRUE));

    $auth = str_replace('://', '://' . $username . ':' . $password . '@', $url);
    $result = drupal_http_request($auth);

    $this->drupalSetContent($result->data);
    $this->assertRaw($username, t('$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] is passed correctly.'));
    $this->assertRaw($password, t('$_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"] is passed correctly.'));
  }

HTTP auth is not supported in PHP CGI, causing this test to be a guaranteed failure. This test should either be conditional on detection of PHP running in Apache, or Drupal needs to employ the workaround for using HTTP auth in CGI.

Title:

HTTP Auth does not work with PHP CGI - tests break

» [TESTING BROKEN] Tests assuming apache_mod, failing in cgi.

I am not altogether sure, but it is possible that this failure is also related to CGI.

    $this->drupalGet('', array(), array('If-Modified-Since: ' . $last_modified));
    $this->assertResponse(200, t('Conditional request without If-None-Match returned 200 OK.'));
    $this->assertEqual($this->drupalGetHeader('X-Drupal-Cache'), 'HIT', t('Page was cached.'));

There is not a single occurrence of an 'if-none-match' header in Drupal's code (outside tests and comments), so Drupal appears to be testing its environment rather than itself. It might be a version-specific bug in PHP or Apache, too.

In any case, the above request returns a 304 not-modified on my test environment.
