[New-bugs-announce] [issue46651] test_urllib2.test_issue16464() fails randomly

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org>:

test_urllib2.test_issue16464() fails randomly.

It uses http://www.example.com/ server.

Instead, I proposed to use http://httpbin.org/post URL which is written to support HTTP POST.

$ ./python -m test test_urllib2 -u all -v -m test_issue16464
