Bug #27922 for HTTP-Proxy: wildcard records break tests in 22http.t and 22transparent.t

Subject:	wildcard records break tests in 22http.t and 22transparent.t

In the test cases, there is reference to "www.example.zzz". Note that anyone whose resolv.conf cites a domain that has a wildcard record, e.g., *.planetoid.org and is running a web server will cause the test to incorrectly fail. Change "www.example.zzz" to "www.example.zzz." (note the extra period at the end) to make your tests work as intended. -- Steve Shah sshah@planetoid.org

That doesn't work for me (verizon's evil DNS servers want to sell me a domain or something), but removing the "www." does work here. This test should probably just accept 404 and move on (diag() a rant if you like) because the marketing people aren't going to quit breaking DNS anytime soon and in the meantime it makes the module a pain to install. --Eric

My ISP broke the DNS too, since last August. I guess I'll have to change those tests, yes. -- BooK

The tests now do a DNS request, and if it doesn't fail as expected, they skip the test. This will be in 0.21. -- BooK
