If that's the only purpose, why is there an http server too? The package manager should only need an http client.

My understanding is that it's there to allow for testing the client. Relevant issue: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/910

is this true? i was excited that zig will provide a http server in its stdlib similar to what go does in fact.

To host packages metadata?
