 We use example.com as one of the domains to perform HTTP API tests. That
 domain is owned and operated by IANA so use of it is ok and safe.

 We also use exampleeeee.com, which was not registered until this evening.
 That domain was used to test if IPv4 cannot be resolved. Now that it's
 registered and has an A-record, it will resolve and fail tests. Instead of
 using domain(s) that anyone can register, we should use something reliable
 — for example, caniload.example.org.
