2007-03-14 - done

I have worked for a couple of days on this task.

There are:

• fixtures with requests
• a stripped down apache
• a logfile parser script: audit-log-parser.rb
  This script has the ability to reinject a request
• A set of tested and approved autit-logs (blueprints) that define how apache/a ruleset is meant to behave

The script is useful by itself:

usage:
    test/functional/ruleset-action-test/audit-log-parser.rb filename [...]
    <STDIN> | test/functional/ruleset-action-test/audit-log-parser.rb

 filename can be serial logfile or path to tree of concurrent logfiles

-h --help      help, print this usage information
-i --id str    request id or comma-separated list of request ids
               id can be an index number or the unique_id
               of the request.
-l --list      display requests
-r --reinject  reinject requests
-q --quiet     be quiet
-s --summary   bring a summary report at the end
-v --verbose   be verbose

Filename is a mandatory parameter unless STDIN is provided.

0 returns 0 if all reinjections were successful.
1 in case there has been a failure.
