[Bug 15716] New: Wine testcases should not use the public internet, as it causes flakiness

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15716

Summary: Wine testcases should not use the public internet, as it
                    causes flakiness
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: testcases
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Just about every day, patchwatcher rejects a patch incorrectly
because some conformance test is relying on the Internet to
be there.  Sadly, the Internet is not 100% reliable, and
therefore must not be used by any test suite that needs to
be 100% reliable.

We must expunge all use of the internet from our test suite,
in favor of mock servers running locally.

One way to start would be to add a configure-time option
to cause all hostname resolution to return 127.0.0.1.
Then people who needed ultrarepeatable conformance test
results (like patchwatcher) could use that option and
never have flaky results due to the public internet.
