It started cycling on that until I interrupted it.

99% of the time these are just recoverable errors or are caused by misconfigured servers (like non-standard keep-alive support).

So you may see an error but it's not a bid deal, 99% of the time at least... Let it run and see what happens.

It'd also be helpful if I had access to your test-case.

Closing the issue... I'll update the documentation to explain these situations so that people don't freak out.

Oh, ok. Thanks :)
