@christophherr I'm not sure what this test actually proves, other than that wp_remote_get() sometimes fails. As such, if we have or can write a unit test that covers the internals of the method, such that if it fails we can prove that it does so gracefully, I'd be in favor of just removing this (and probably the one for http as well).

Thank you, @iCaspar.
It's one of the tests that confirms what we know from the unit tests but with actual content...
