Research direction
Start with t/live.t and reproduce the periodic failure against example.com if possible. Review the suggested gstatic URLs and the AUTHOR_TESTING or RELEASE_TESTING option, then make the test use a reliable configuration and confirm the live test no longer fails because of the reported 403 or 502 responses.

Description
example.com seems to fail periodically with:
--2025-11-08 10:12:55-- http://www.example.com/
Resolving www.example.com (www.example.com)... 66.96.160.151

You might want to reconfigure the test for http://www.gstatic.com/generate_204 or http://www.gstatic.com/robots.txt or change this to AUTHOR_TESTING or RELEASE_TESTING
There might be a html page available at http://www.gstatic.com/ but I don't know of one.
