Yes, I see what it's doing and why. The fact remains that we have tests that timeout due to this.

I question whether we need to simulate a network error in all the places where this script is used. It looks like a http error would effectively test the logic that wants to be tested. I'm looking thru the appcache tests and noticing that simulated network errors are used thruout, but haven't really noticed (m)any tests that simulate a server error.

Also, I question whether this is as good of a simulation of a network error as can be constructed. I wonder if we can close the underlying connection from the server-side?
