With smart http, git over http is likely to become much more common.
To increase testing of smart http, enable the http tests by default.

Sorry, but no test that listens to network ports should be enabled by
default; otherwise it will break automated, unattended tests people have
already set up randomly, depending on when the port happens to be
available for use by the tests.

Is this the only concern or are there security or other issues as well?

I thought security was too obvious to mention.
