Since I see Henrik is around and answered somewhat of a similar question
as pertained to the logs test (welcome back? or is surgery still in the
future?), I hope that you might also weigh in on this one. From my read
of the docs, I might be out of luck (or have the option of using the
"ports" test to make sure http is not available, but I believe that is a
local test not a network test, yes?).
