-Some of the tests of libtorrent are not self contained. For instance, in
-order to test the ``http_connection`` class in libtorrent, the test requires
-lighty_. This document outlines the requirements of the tests as well as
-describes how to set up your environment to be able to run them.
+The tests for SOCKS and HTTP proxy relies on ``delegate`` being installed
+to set up test proxies.  This document outlines the requirements of the

-======
-
-Download lighty_. I've tested with ``lighttpd-1.4.19``. If libtorrent is built
-with SSL support (which it is by default), lighty needs SSL support as well.
-
-To build lighty with SSL support do::
-
-	./configure --with-openssl
-
-Followed by::
-
-	sudo make install
-
-Make sure you have SSL support in lighty by running::
-
-	lighttpd -V
-
-Which gives you a list of all enabled features.

-OpenSSL
-=======
-
-In order to create an SSL certificate for lighty_, openssl is used. More
-specifically, the following command is issued by the test to create the
-certificate file::
-
-	echo -e "AU\ntest province\ntest city\ntest company\ntest department\n\
-		tester\ntest@test.com" | openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem \
-		-out server.pem -days 365 -nodes

-This will write ``server.pem`` which is referenced in the lighty
-confiuration file.

-OpenSSL comes installed with most Linux and BSD distros, including Mac OS X.
-You can download it from `the openssl homepage`_.
