So I'm not the only one experiencing them. :)

I just came across another issue, not sure if it is indeed caused by a race 
condition. Test-proxied-https.px failed with the following output:

--2014-09-30 21:37:25--  https://no.such.domain/needs-auth.txt
Resolving localhost (localhost)... ::1, 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost (localhost)|::1|:37161... failed: Connection refused.

--2014-09-30 21:37:26--  (try: 2)  https://no.such.domain/needs-auth.txt
Got code: 256

That's a very random failure I'd say. And running the test again promptly fixed 
it.
