New description:

 A number of HTTP external tests can randomly fail due to timeouts.

 [34848] improved things a bit, however it only uses
 `::skipTestOnTimeout()` in three tests, whereas there's a lot more tests
 with similar random timeouts from time to time.

 Seems like `::skipTestOnTimeout()` should be used in any HTTP test that
 can fail due to a timeout.

 Another option is to only run these tests when HTTP-related changes were
 made.
