This was supposed to be testing resolution of the hdl.handle.net domain itself, not what the Handle link resolves to (Handles are like DOIs, where a persistent identifier points to a resource on another domain). We had a case of hdl.handle.net being blocked in Iran (not sure if still the case).

This test was erroneously updated to point to the resolved resource (I suspect someone used a script to update the list, because the Handle service would have returned an HTTP redirect). Furthermore, a trailing slash on this URL is not even valid (returns HTTP 404).
