Built a docker container that server phab on port 8080 and tryed to install the cert before and after this patch using the following steps.
# Obtain a fresh copy of ubuntu server 14.04 / 16.06 will likely work exactly the same outside of going through a different install process for php5.
# sudo apt-get install lighttpd git php5 php5-cgi php5-fpm php5-mysql
# mkdir /srv/httpd & cd /srv/httpd
# clone arc, libphutil, phab into this directory
# modify /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf with the output provided
# service lighttpd restart && service lighttpd force-reload
# add lightphab.dev to the /etc/hosts file of the computer you want to run arc from.
```
# lighttpd.conf file
server.modules = (
"mod_access",
"mod_alias",
"mod_compress",
"mod_redirect",
"mod_rewrite",
)
server.document-root = "/srv/httpd"
server.upload-dirs = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
server.pid-file = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.username = "www-data"
server.groupname = "www-data"
server.port = 8080
index-file.names = ( "index.php", "index.html", "index.lighttpd.html" )
url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc" )
static-file.exclude-extensions = ( ".php", ".pl", ".fcgi" )
compress.cache-dir = "/var/cache/lighttpd/compress/"
compress.filetype = ( "application/javascript", "text/css", "text/html", "text/plain" )
# default listening port for IPv6 falls back to the IPv4 port
## Use ipv6 if available
#include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/use-ipv6.pl " + server.port
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl"
include_shell "/usr/share/lighttpd/include-conf-enabled.pl"
$HTTP["host"] =~ "lightphab.dev:8080" {
server.document-root = "/srv/httpd/phabricator/webroot"
url.rewrite-once = (
"^(/rsrc/.*)$" => "$1",
"^(/favicon.ico)$" => "$1",
# This simulates QSA (query string append) mode in Apache
"^(/[^?]*)\?(.*)" => "/index.php?__path__=$1&$2",

)
}
```
Before this patch you would get the following.
```
arc install-cert http://lightphab.dev:8080
CONNECT Connecting to "http://lightphab.dev:8080/api/"...

```
After this patch you get this.... Which is actually OK because It's a half setup pabricator server so I could reproduce the issue with lighttpd.
```
arc install-cert http://lightphab.dev:8080
Usage Exception: Failed to connect to server (http://lightphab.dev:8080/api/): [HTTP/500] Internal Server Error
