Subject: Fixed port for testing server
During multi-content-000type test I observe: 'Starting an external Catalyst HTTP server on port 7357' This server cannot be started because 7357 is already occupied on that system. Could this situation be handled more gracefully? Thanks,

You can change the port via the TWMC_TEST_PORT env var.

Having the option to manually tweak a test until it passes does not help in situation where the user is not sitting at the terminal or is not an expert. With "more gracefully" I had in mind a scenario that tries to use a free port and retries several times without user intervention.

The test now tries to open the port 5 times and randomly picks an alternate port each time in case it can't open the server on that port.
