we've been failing all the prs for a few days now, is it worth adding a backup for the httpbin mirror?

Looks fine.

Or we want to add both site.
And https://httpbingo.julialang.org/

Can we go httpbin -> httpbingo (ours) and then fail? I don't want to rely to push a bunch of load to a random user (even though it might be fine but still)

nice, didn't know we had another one. do we want to switch the order on those since the first one is still down? or is httpbingo.julialang.org expected to be down more often in the future?

I don't think the order matters too much, if both are our instances.

Can you print the exception and backtrace to the logs?

Let's just move to the https://httpbingo.julialang.org/ version instead of complicating things.

Seems like it would be better to have multiple options in the test suite, right? In case one instance goes down again in the future?

E.g. if httpbingo.julialang starts having problems in the future, we can spin up something working at httpbin.julialang, and Base CI will use it automatically.

CI isn't done yet, but several jobs have finished and look good. Let's give this a try in an attempt to get master to be less red.

shouldn't that commit message at least be the other way around? if it was a size issue than at least test: add fallback url would actually describe what the change does

I don't believe that these services have identical APIs. Similar but not exactly the same. Have you tested to see if all tests pass (especially Downloads) when using httpbin instead of httpbingo?

Indeed, the Downloads.jl tests fail when using httpbin.org (example).

However, this PR only affects the server that is used in in test/download_exec.jl.

Downloads.jl has its own logic for choosing the test server: https://github.com/JuliaLang/Downloads.jl/blob/f72cd4d87b424fc48e1137c1fd1fbcec18f49371/test/setup.jl#L84-L85

Basically, Downloads.jl uses JULIA_TEST_HTTPBINGO_SERVER if it is defined, and if not falls back to httpbingo.julialang.org. So Downloads.jl won't use httpbin in its tests (even after this PR).
