Comment(by hellais):
I wrote up the HTTP Scan test:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/OONI/Tests/HTTPScan.
The open questions of the HTTP Host scan apply also to this test. How do
we verify in an efficient manner that a certain site is being blocked?
The naive way to do so is to make a connection over Tor and check if that
matches the one that is made over the live network, this has some problems
though, for example if the site is geolocalized it will be different for
Tor.
Another simple approach is to have a database of content lengths of
websites, but this also will fail if the censored page is very similar to
the real web page.
Another approach is to find a smart fuzzy matching algorithm for the Test
page.
This issue probably deserves it's own ticket here: #6180
