Research direction

Locate the tests that use httputil and first try to reproduce the intermittent ECONNREFUSED failure on Node.js 0.6. Trace which connection or server setup is involved and check whether the failure can be made deterministic. Done means the httputil tests run reliably without random connection refusals.
