This makes a lot of sense to me.

We should probably also have something like it for "httphost" since a
couple of tests use some random (sources.redhat.com) to test against.
This is a but more tricky since sources.redhat.com actually contains
some files (such as the jars used by the URLClassLoader tests) that need
to be replicated on that "httphost".
