The skeleton is good but you have to change one thing. Your test should
exercise a function or method of BaseHTTPServer, not the underlying
implementation detail. I failed to explain that earlier:
1a) Write a test that checks that the current code produces right values
for a handful of cases (perhaps the RFC has them, else pick at random);
1b) Check that the test pass with the current code;
2a) Change BaseHTTPServer to use emails.utils.formatdate;
2b) Check that the test still pass.
End of HOWTO write a regression test :)
