I don't think its is "special" at all, actually lots of people have firewalls (on many operating systems), and this is the kind of behavior you see if you have network outages and so on. So its scary if things dont work right in this situation. 2. then there is "crazy" blackhole (our apache jenkins server) which applies this also to the localhost interface: 127.0.0.1... thats just over the top. Is the problem specific to testing, or also real code? And does it only impact #2 (crazy blackholes) or is it a more general problem (#1) ?
