These two tests have been causing lots of CI failures, both in Jenkins and GitHub actions. They incorrectly use common.platformTimeout(), which scales a given amount of time by a factor that depends on the platform. However, these tests compute some times as common.platformTimeout(x * common.platformTimeout(y)), effectively squaring the platform-dependent factor.

I also increased the base timeout from 1000ms to 2000ms. As a reference, I ran one of the tests (test-http-server-headers-timeout-keepalive.js) with different base timeouts, 8000 times each, using 200 concurrent processes across 16 cores.

base timeout successful success rate
500ms 7676 95.95 %
600ms 7911 98.89 %
800ms 7944 99.30 %
1000ms 7989 99.86 %
2000ms 7999 99.99 %

The test-macOS GitHub action keeps failing on the master branch so I'll propose to fast-track this since I'm confident it will significantly reduce CI failures.

If this is supposed to fix the flakiness entirely, I think we should add Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/42741 to the description. Otherwise, maybe rename the PR to test: reduce flakiness in HTTP server tests?

I wasn't aware of the open issue. Edited the description in the hope that this will fix the flakiness.

Thanks, I had the fix for this in another PR which will take a while for me to land.

This one is even better, LGTM!

@tniessen this doesn't land cleanly in v16.x-staging - do you mind backporting this to v16.x?
