[Bug 2025645] Re: t/local/referer.t blocking forever during autopkgtests

[Lukas Märdian]

Another insight: The t/local/referer.t file of this package fiddles with
the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which sounds very related, e.g.:


$ grep -Hni HTTP_PROXY t/local/referer.t 
t/local/referer.t:20:    delete $ENV{HTTP_PROXY};

Title:
  t/local/referer.t blocking forever during autopkgtests

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in libwww-mechanize-perl package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The test file t/local/referer.t will block forever on Ubuntu's
  autopkgtest runners.

  There is a similar problem reported upstream a few years ago but I'm
  not sure they are related. I added more details to it
  https://github.com/libwww-perl/WWW-Mechanize/issues/281

  referer.t will start a local webserver implemented in t/local/referer-
  server. Each test will call the webserver and stop it by calling GET
  /quit-server in the last test. Although, in the end, referer.t blocks
  on wait(referer-server), supposedly after calling close(), but
  referer-server is blocked on accept().

  These tests will just work locally and are not blocking on Debian.
