Added handling of exceptions when starting the HTTP server

Details:

* Added handling of IOError raised by start_http_server() in the HTTP case
  (it was already handled in the HTTPS case).

* For the HTTPS case, broadened the catching of IOError to now catch
  Exception, in order to make double sure that we catch everything, in order
  to investigate the issue with occasional ssl.SSLEOFError exceptions.

* Simplified and corrected the error message used for re-raising an exception
  raised by start_http_server() in the HTTPS case.
