please don't hard code paths in tests. 

can you put this in content/test/data and use content::DIR_TEST_DATA?

I've moved the files to the content/test/data, but I can't use the PathService,
as it gives back an absolute path and the test server expects a relative path.
Also, I can't use the test_server part of the infrastructure, since it is
hardcoded to the chrome path and no way to change it.
