Is there a reason you specifically mention pipelined here? The first
response has been handled so it's just synchronous communication.

Ok, clear.

The easiest way is to use existing tests as a starting point.:
- Test test_serf_connection_request_create sends 2 requests and responses.
  This tests sends two pipelined requests, but you can modifiy it to
send the 1st request, then run the serf loop, then send the 2nd
request.
- To add the extra data to the response of the first request, you'll
have to create the raw response body.
  Have a look at test test_request_timeout, line:
      Respond(WithRawData(RESPONSE_408, strlen(RESPONSE_408)))
