acceptance test hang, both with expresso and mocha

[strk]

both acceptance tests hang, with both expresso and mocha, must be some callback never being invoked...

[strk]

It looks like it only hangs when the test runs against a PostgreSQL version < 9.0 -- may have to do with unhandled exceptions making the caller starve while waiting on a callback. Issue #26 might be related (isn't clear).

[strk]

While app.test.js only hangs with wrong PostgreSQL, app.auth.test.js hangs anyway (maybe it's waiting for OAuth server)

[strk]

The hanging bug seems still related to the pg module, never invoking the callback on client.query. I'm using 0.6.14

[strk]

Same issue with pg 0.6.18 and 0.7.2

[strk]

I wonder if this has to do with the pg module being built against postgresql 8.4 libraries and trying to access 9.0 database

Hanging of app.test could be due to a bug in the node-postgresql project: brianc/node-postgres#137

[strk]

On a reduced app.test.js I only get 6 issued requests over 7 calls to assert.response.
The bug may actually be in assert.response itself...

[strk]

I've reduced an hanging testcase so to have nothing to do with CartoDB-SQL-API, nor express.
Could still be a NODE or MOCHA bug.
For node, I filed nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#3715

[strk]

Found a workaround: adding "agent: false" in the http.request options in test/support/assert.js !

The other test was also having another kind of hanging, but it's been fixed with 8fb6587

So all done here!
