+-- The provided 'BaseUrl' points to the running server.
+--
+-- Running the test-servers is done differently depending on the compiler
+-- (ghc or ghcjs).
+--
+-- With ghc it's somewhat straight-forward: a wai 'Application' is being started
+-- on a free port inside the same process using 'warp'.
+--
+-- When running the test-suite with ghcjs all the test-servers are compiled into
+-- a single external executable (with ghc and warp). This is done through
+-- 'buildTestServer' once at the start of the test-suite. This built executable
+-- will provide all the test-servers on a free port under a path that
+-- corresponds to the test-servers name, for example under
+-- 'http://localhost:82923/failServer'. 'withTestServer' will then
+-- start this executable as an external process while the given action is being
+-- executed and provide it with the correct BaseUrl.
+-- This rather cumbersome approach is taken because it's not easy to run a wai
+-- Application as a http server when using ghcjs.
