Layout Test Protocol

@@ +1 @@
+The Layout Test Protocol (LTP) is a line-based protocol for requesting layout tests from DumpRenderTree (DRT) or WebKitTestRunner (WKTR). Requests come into DRT/WKTR from standard input or into a socket. Responses leave DRT/WKTR via standard output/error or into a socket. The protocol works similarly to HTTP, where a content type and length are sent before blocks of data. A response consists of multiple chunks, all of which are optional:
+
+- RenderTree: The textual representation of the render tree
+- Image: An image capture of the web view
+- Audio: An audio capture during the test
+- Error: Other textual output corresponding to standard error
+- DumpMalloc: Number of committed virtual memory bytes
