Description

@chunt noted:

Unsure where to document this, but since upgrading to 2.6, and given that I use utest, I had to do the following for my tests:

 override def testExceptionHandler: ExceptionHandler = ExceptionHandler {
   case e: AssertionError => throw e
 }

Research direction
Examine the existing testkit module (akka http testkit) and see how it provides support for other testing frameworks like ScalaTest or specs2. The issue requests similar support for utest. Look at the comments in the referenced PR #2949 for context. A possible approach is to create a utest like wrapper that integrates with akka http's testkit, perhaps by providing a trait similar to the ones already existing for other frameworks. Check the repository's testkit source code and any existing utest related usage in the project for guidance.
