           Summary: new-run-webkit-tests fails to start HTTP server if
                    there are proxy settings
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: phnixwxz at gmail.com


new-run-webkit-tests script checks if the testing HTTP server has been properly started by sending testing requests to the server with urllib.urlopen(). However, in an environment with proxy set, urllib.urlopen() can't recognize the no_proxy settings, and always use proxy even to access http://127.0.0.1:8000/. This causes the checker fails to check the status of HTTP servers and reports 'failed to start httpd.'

To resolve this, we can explicitly disable proxies in urllib.urlopen().
