[issue5435] test_httpservers on Debian Testing

I think it isn't a problem / bug, rather than it's a protection method
to don't execute this test or cgi stuff with root user.

In the middle, it change a userid to 'nobody', then if you are logged in
as root, it can change the userid and then you don't have permission to
write in the disk; and if you are logged in with as a regular user it
can't change the userid and works OK.
