test_urllib2 is failing on all buildbots right now because example.com is no longer reliable. Do you have a better suggestion?

I'm not aware of any pythontest.net URL supporting POST.

Either we switch to any other URL or the test should be skipped. Most buildbots are failing.

Hi @vstinner, I am with @tiran here. If possible m we should use pythontest . I think, it supports simple post.

If blocked by external resources, we can skip the test. BTW test_urllib2net is supposed to depend on external sources. The test_urllib2 should have mocks.

I merged my PR #31161 instead (skip the test).
