    when the consensus parameter `bwscanner` is 2.
    
    "Using upload instead of download allows the congestion control
    algorithms to be under control of the sbws Tor client, instead of the
    Exit relay. This means that sbws can know when `slow start` has exited."
    
    This is the 1st optimization for #40130.
    
    The testing HTTP server has been replaced by the one implemented in
    onbasca just cause a first try on implementing `do_POST` was
    successful only for the 1st sbws request. It only implemnts POST RFC
    2388.
