> Yes, I see what it's doing and why. The fact remains that we have tests that timeout due to this.

Can that be fixed in chromium networking code? I don't think CFNetwork has any performance issues with redirects.

Yeah, we need more of the latter kind.

> Also, I question whether this is as good of a simulation of a network error as can be constructed. I wonder if we can close the underlying connection from the server-side?

I couldn't find a better way when making those tests. If there is a way to force Apache to rudely drop a connection, that would be a much better approximation indeed.
