Get fails in clean install on Ubuntu: KeyError: 'start_time'

A simple get seems to fail on a clean install:

[2013-01-08 15:22:38,880] ERROR/stderr: File "/home/ubuntu/google/locustfile.py", line 7, in on_start

Heres the console output: https://gist.github.com/977b5f9b93fab7335348
Here's my locust.py: https://gist.github.com/0385d312d66d218822cb

My ubuntu setup is super-simple, just start from a EC2 ubuntu image, then:

aptitude install python-dev python-pip libevent
pip install locustio

Hi!

The problem is that you should include http:// in the -H parameter. Perhaps the naming (host) of this parameter is a little bit misleading.

We should probably at least warn the user if the host doesn't start with "http".

Thanks for the report!

No warning when "http://" omitted :(
