Re: Bad handling of network connections in tests

[Nigel Horne]

I have been told that access to example.com has been deliberately blocked, this is not a misconfiguration. I am not at liberty to say why. You may start to find others having problems accessing it.

I Karen,



In the meantime, it's a nice edge case to find.

I have tracked it down. Websense here is blocking access to example.com, which clearly it shouldn't do because that's a legitimate site. I will talk to the people who maintain it.

Hi Nigel,

What is up with these test results from your smokers?

It appears as though you may have some sort of proxy handling network

an available connection to the site in question, and skips as needed:

connections? I'm perplexed, as the tests that are failing are even checking for https://metacpan.org/source/ETHER/Test-LWP-UserAgent-0.029/t/10-request-args-network.t#L17

later on?

thanks,

Can you explain to me how Test::RequiresInternet reports that example.comL80 is available, and then a GET request to that host is returning an HTML-ified 502
