Comment (by warner):

 I think the tests are being too picky.. we can get most of the same
 coverage by looking for shorter strings. Also, is the output split into
 separate lines in a useful way? We could have the test look for the line
 that shows the expected nickname, then grep just that line for the other
 attributes.

 Worst case we `res.split("</div>")` and then find the section we want in
 the resulting list. Full HTML parsing is hard, but I don't think we need
 it to check what we need from this test.
