MAINT-2302  Tests frequently fail on Windows builds. I'm calling this the more correct fix.  The httprequest tests actually talk to an HTTP server running in the Python test scaffold script.  Under severe CPU competition, it may not get the cycles needed to start up and make progress.  So this modifies the test to spin a little faster and dwell waiting on the server for a longer period.  Hope this will be adequate to make the tests reliable.
