Make the dependency on flasgger optional. The dependency has been added relatively recently (i.e. before the original package was abandoned but after its last release), and it is only used to provide a more dynamic landing page. This is unnecessary for use of httpbin for testing, and it introduces an indirect dependency on Rust that is problematic. With this change, flasgger is no longer installed by default. It can be enabled via "[flasgger]" extra. When flasgger is not available, httpbin redirects to the "legacy" index page.

Make the tests slightly more flexible to match both the flasgger-based and legacy httpbin index. This is needed for compatibility with psf/httpbin#44 when flasgger is not installed (e.g. on architectures that are not supported by Rust).

Seems to be a duplicate of #32 . But either way, would be great to see flasgger removed as dependency. |

flasgger is only needed to render the Swagger UI homepage and /spec.json on httpbin.org; it's dead weight (and an extra dependency tree, including an indirect Rust build dep) for the common case of using httpbin as a test library. It also blocks packaging httpbin for distros that can't ship flasgger's bundled, pre-minified JS (e.g. Fedora). Move flasgger from the hard dependencies to the existing "mainapp" extra (so the published Docker image, built with --extra mainapp, keeps the fancy homepage) and guard all the Swagger setup behind its availability. When flasgger is absent, the static legacy landing page is served at / and a warning is logged. Adds a subprocess-based regression test that blocks flasgger and asserts / falls back to the static page with a 200 instead of erroring. Closes psf#26. Supersedes psf#32 and psf#44.
