 Since various changes to Mozilla internals break HTTPS Everywhere on a
 semi-regular basis, we should build a simple test harness that can  watch
 the network for HTTP requests and automatically figure out whether any of
 them should have been rewritten by the ruleset library.

 Known corner cases for this include URLs that redirect back to HTTP (these
 can be found out by watching the console output from Firefox with HTTPS
 Everywhere) and disabled rulesets.

 But overall, this would be a very simple way to increase our confidence in
 HTTPS Everywhere's corectness as Mozilla's code changes.
