[issue41940] AMD64 Debian root 3.x: tests fail because downloaded files start with: <!DOCTYPE

[Chris Angelico]

Has this been ongoing, or is it something that started in the past day and a half? I've had intermittent internet issues (and expect them to continue for another half day or thereabouts), so it's possible that this is actually a symptom of that.

If that's the case, then the issue would be that my gateway returned a failure page of some sort, which would be another good reason to download the content via HTTPS (since that response happens only on non-encrypted downloads).
