Test freezes on Win10, strawberry 5.32.1

[pryrt]

When cpanm is running test suite, it freezes on 50-gh63-encode-response-content.t
I did a cpanm --look and did prove -vl t\50-gh63-encode-response-content.t : it did the first three tests, then froze; adding debug-prints, I saw it got to the following, where it tries to do the mech on the http:// URL.

WWW-Mechanize-Chrome/t/50-gh63-encode-response-content.t

Line 51 in b913018

$mech->get($link);

If I change the URL to https://, then the test passes without freezing.

Also freezes in 50-tick.t:

WWW-Mechanize-Chrome/t/50-tick.t

Line 68 in b913018

is $mech->selector('#unchecked_1',single => 1)->get_attribute('checked'),undef, "#unchecked_1 is not checked";

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a smoking-gun for why that one was freezing.

Neither appears intermittent, and they freeze rather than fail, so I don't think it's the "temporary" timing issue from #65 , but maybe I'm wrong on that.

If I edit 50-gh63-... and skip 50-tick.t, all the other tests pass without freezing

I think this is the same thing that was happening to Bod as talked about in 2021 on perlmonks; sorry I didn't find that before.
