Comment (by trygve):

 Running the test:
 - Ensure BridgeDB running in virtualenv on localhost with the default
 config file
 - Ensure valid bridge descriptors are available with at least one obfs2
 bridge
 - Ensure the mechanize is installed in that virtualenv (pip install
 mechanize)
 - Run this script with that virtualenv i.e. "python
 bridgedb_https_test.py".
   Exceptions or assertion failures indicate that something has gone wrong
 ;)
   On success, bridge lines should be printed to the screen
