Subject: use poe.perl.org or a Filter::HTTPD daemon for tests
PoCo::Client::HTTP should discontinue relying on the goodness and grace of servers that its authors cannot access, or surely tests will fail. It's only a matter of time. 1. Move data from other sites to poe.perl.org; possibly just by fetching copies of the current pages and hosting them at the new location. 2. Include a very basic httpd in the distribution, and have tests use that instead of external servers. This prevents the lack of external routes from causing the tests to fail. By all accounts, Perl users do strange things like carry copies of CPAN around on their hard drives and install modules on airplanes.
