Description
I know this goes against a lot of Solid promotes in terms of security, and might not be possible wrt WebID, but I've wished a lot of times for simpler developer setup, e.g. not having to deal with certificates when I'm setting up my testing environment.
Could we implement a http-version that sports a subset of the full server, you cannot create your own users, but are limited to a given numbers of test users?
Again, I don't think this works wrt WebID, as I think that must be done with https, but I just wanna put the thought out here ^_^

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the certificate and WebID requirements for the server, then define the supported HTTP-only subset and fixed test-user limits; done requires an agreed design and a runnable developer setup that does not require certificates without weakening the full server mode.
