I've noticed a variety of bugs that say that <SRC> acts weird when common networking errors occur. I haven't seen anything that describes how it should work, and I don't have time to gather up all the data right now, so I'm creating this as a placeholder meta bug, so I won't forget. The three main errors that should always be handled are: DNS hostname not found. Connection refused (server answers, but does not use the requested port number) Timeout while establishing connection. Additionally, there are questions of user+password auth, timeouts during transmission, and page not found (404) errors.

-> benc ...feel free to send it back if there is something that should be fixed ;-)

I don't think QA should be assigned meta bugs just because we created them... This is why we want to have default owner placeholders. Proper ownership model, no useless bugmail for engineers.
