pp self.server._httpd.__dict__

we get:

{'RequestHandlerClass': <class bzrlib.tests.test_http.PredefinedRequestHandler at 0x225dd10>,
 '_BaseServer__is_shut_down': <threading._Event object at 0x240dc90>,

serving : False ? Huh ?

Ouch, the test server is not running. So of course the client
hangs trying to connect.

cert_file: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/bzrlib/tests/ssl_certs/server.crt

I bet that file doesn't exist on your machine right (they don't
on mine at least) ?

So what we have here is :

- a bug in the test server, it shouldn't fail to start
  *silently*. And the test setUp should just abort if the server
  can't be started.

- packaging bug, these test can't be run without these files,
  they seems to be included in the tarball though, so I suspect
  they are lost at installation time,

Now, if you create copy the content from the ssl_certs directory
from the bzr sources, the tests should pass.
