[Osztrogonac Csaba]

Hi,

The r52976 revealed this strange sideeffect bug, we filed some bug on it.
We skipped these tests, because commit-queue doesn't work if one of the
core builder is red.

I don't think it is a good idea to land different, platform dependent expected
files with false data. On the one hand layout tests protect against regression
(verification) and on the other hand they test a correctness of specific feature
(validation). What is the more important? I think both of them.

I hope fixing the bug ASAP is much more important than paper over the problem
with rolling out a good and working patch which only revealed the bug.

Alexey, what do you think, if we use this new feature on the basis of
our original idea until fix? I mean it can be disabled by default, but
we can use it with --http-as-last option and/or enverionment variable.

br,
Ossy
