The merged PRs disable the test without anything tracking fixing or 
re-re-enabling it.  Reopening & retitling this issue.

This specific test does not need to use an external server. That has nothing to 
do with what the purposes of the test is which is all around a content-length 
issue per https://bugs.python.org/issue16464

The appropriate fix is to have the test manage it's own http server on 
localhost in another thread or process.

We do not need to test it with https.
