I had tried playing with the -u option, but, unfortunately, if nothing
is listening to the specified port, the error is different (as it is
reasonable):

    $ apt-listbugs -u https://localhost:443/cgi-bin/soap.cgi list apt
    Retrieving bug reports... 0% Fail
    Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message:
    E: Connection refused - Connection refused - connect(2) for "localhost" port 443 (localhost:443)
    It could be because your network is down, or because of broken proxy servers, or the BTS server itself is down. Check network configuration and try again
    Retry downloading bug information? [Y/n]


I am afraid that an actual SOAP server needs to listen to the
appropriate port of the test destination host.
But I don't know how to setup such server, and, above all, I have no
idea which kind of protocol error it should artificially inject into
the communication...
After all, you wish apt-listbugs gave more information, exactly because
we are trying to investigate this: what kind of stream error is
sporadically encountered, while interacting with the Debian BTS SOAP
interface.
If we already knew, there would be no point in investigating!


I am testing with apt-listbugs more often than usual, in the hope to
"naturally" encounter the error again...
