Test instructions
The code below creates a new Merritt object with content consisting of two local files
and one remote URL. The object is submitted to Merritt as a manifest, with the manifest,
local files, and mrt-erc.txt made available to Ingest by an
Mrt::Ingest::OneTimeServer
-- a simple WEBrick-based server that finds itself an open port, serves each file from
a temporary directory, and when all files have been served, shuts down.

client = Mrt::Ingest::Client.new(
