Take a look at "openssl sserver". This is still a pretty terrible way to test the SSL functionality, but it's loads better than connecting to a site on the public internet. How would you deal with the deployment and maintenance of this server in all buildbot's machines? Or we just can ask to see if we have the server available, and then run the tests if yes?

If the openssl binary is available, when the test starts, launch it in a child process, talk to it for the test, then kill it when the test is done.
