I guess I don't see the point of having this in our test suite, though.
We do want to test things like HTTP/2, SSL, and so on in our test suite.
So either we have a split in our tests (some use apache, some don't,
which presumably means many tests are still not run on Windows), or this
custom HTTP server eventually grows to do all of those other things.
I can see the utility outside the tests of a quick "let me stand up an
HTTP server to access Git" tool. But even there, I'd be considered with
feature creep as regular users ignore any warnings about its lack of
encryption/robustness, and so on. And it feels like something that could
utilize work already done by others in making a web server. Yes, that's
a new dependency for the tool, but there are a lot of options out there.
Surely one of them is worth building on?

I don't see how pushing the same code into an http server helps. If we
could have incrementally improved it there, we could incrementally
improve it in git-daemon, too.
