[ruby-core:59556] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9363][Rejected] test_http.rb and others must be run as root

Issue #9363 has been updated by headius (Charles Nutter).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

Sorry, ignore this. I discovered that it was a bug in JRuby's BasicSocket.for_fd logic causing it to try to bind to the fd as if it were a port.

Bug #9363: test_http.rb and others must be run as root
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9363#change-44093

Author: headius (Charles Nutter)
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: test
Target version: 
ruby -v: 2.1p0
Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN


It seems like test/net/test_http.rb (and perhaps other network-related tests) must be run as root to test properly...or I am not seeing how to run them without using privileged ports.

We would like to use these tests in JRuby, and currently that's not possible since they bind to privileged.

If this is the case, we should fix the tests.

If this is not the case, please help me figure out how to run these tests without restricted ports.
