intermittent test failure Execution failed for task ':connectors:wsclient-javax.websocket:test'

I saw this failure once when running tests against the 1.1.0 release candidate. Dale's theory:
"The web socket tests run against a public web socket server. It’s possible that it was acting up briefly. I haven’t seen problems on my OSX Sierra fwiw."

Below is the stack trace. Initial assessment is that it is not an Edgent issue but filing here in case anyone else hits it.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':connectors:wsclient-javax.websocket:test'.
  > There were failing tests. See the results at: <mypath>/edgent/releasetesting1.1/edgent-1.1.0-src/connectors/wsclient-javax.websocket/build/test-results/test/
