Hosted PageTest (Virtual Machine) Issues

[Aaron]

Thank you.... No it is not critical to correct the bug immediately. However, I seem to still have a problem which I observed, but could not confirm until I had the port issue solved (see below).

One additional question:
Is the rapid window closure normal for win32 binary? Where is the data stored prior to being transmitted to the server or is it simply held in memory and dumped?

Creating the iptables redirect solved this issue (there is no rush to deliver a fix) but there is definitely something wrong with timing methods on a virtual machine (XP) because I can assure you (I am watching the running VM on my Mac live) that the execution time was <2-3 seconds to open and then close the window. IE works fine when run manually and there are no browser errors. However, the test server is reporting that it timed out after a negative time duration. Suggestions? How are the current publicly available pagetest test nodes provisioned? As VMs or dedicated hardware? The screenshot shows Internet Explorer cannot display the web page... The results are below:
