What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  I am trying an initial build on a gentoo amd64 system.
2.  The all.bash build fails http.TestClient and http.TestRedirect.
3.  A manual wget works fine for robots.txt which TestClient was trying to
fetch.

What is the expected output? -- Dunno since I can't see it :-)

What do you see instead?

What is your $GOOS? -- "linux"  $GOARCH? -- "amd64"

My internet connection is via WildBlue satellite.  Pings generally show a
1.5 second latency (yes, seconds, not ms!).  My first guess is that there
is a timeout more suitable to normal land or wireless connections.
