Hello,

Nice!  Documentation will be welcome.  :-)

In this context I think ‘httpd-’ would be good enough as a prefix.

> +          (apache-httpd-load-module

> +         ("authn_core_module" "modules/mod_authn_core.so")
> +         ("authz_host_module" "modules/mod_authz_host.so")

I think having this list here is the right approach.  However could you
write where it comes from?  I guess it’s equal to the current default in
httpd, right?

How often do you expect this to be updated?

> +  apache-httpd-config-file make-apache-httpd-config-file
> +  apache-httpd-config-file?
> +  (load-modules   apache-httpd-config-file-load-modules
> +                  (default %default-apache-httpd-modules))

Or “loaded-modules” or just “modules”?

> +  "Run tests in %APACHE-HTTPD-OS, which has apache-httpd running and listening on
> +HTTP-PORT."

I wonder if we could abstract ‘run-nginx-test’ just enough so it can be
used for both.  It’d need to take a service name, log file, and PID file
as arguments.

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!

Ludo’.
