Recently there are many sporadic timeouts on the Windows bots after one http
test times out all the followon are timing out too. It was suggested that the
change in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/53559 caused a regression (discussed
here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33153), which does not let
run-webkit-tests recover from an http timeout.
I don't beleave this is true since there are several cases where one or two
http tests time out and no other after them. Such examples are:

http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Debug%20%28Tests%29/r54107%20%289228%29/results.html
http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Debug%20%28Tests%29/r54106%20%289227%29/results.html
http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Debug%20%28Tests%29/r54100%20%289223%29/results.html
http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Debug%20%28Tests%29/r54056%20%289185%29/results.html
http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Release%20%28Tests%29/r54095%20%288562%29/results.html
http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Release%20%28Tests%29/r54083%20%288555%29/results.html
http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Release%20%28Tests%29/r54069%20%288544%29/results.html
http://build.webkit.org/results/Windows%20Release%20%28Tests%29/r54057%20%288533%29/results.html

All the http tests time out after the following tests' time out (there might be
1 or 2 more, but the bots have a very tiny brain):
http/tests/xmlhttprequest/basic-auth.html
http/tests/security/xss-DENIED-xsl-external-entity-redirect.xml
http/tests/security/aboutBlank/xss-DENIED-navigate-opener-document-write.html
http/tests/workers/text-encoding.html

In addition lately there are numerous failed downloads on the Windows Test bots
with stderr like:
"File 'archives/win-i386-release/54067.zip' not available at master"
and
"File 'archives/win-i386-debug/54065.zip' not available at master"
