[issue16463] testConnectTimeout of test_timeout TCPTimeoutTestCasefailures fails intermittently

[Charles-François Natali]

Charles-François Natali added the comment:

The problem is that the test passes a DNS address to connect(), which means that it has to perform a name resolution first.
And since there's not timeout on gethostbyname()/getaddrinfo() you can end up well above the timeout.
The hostnames should be resolved beforehand.
