Subject: bug#19729: 25.0.50; url-retrieve-synchronously never returns when there's no response from the server

Evaluate

(url-retrieve-synchronously "http://localhost:3333/foo")

As long as there's nothing running on that port, the function call
should return quickly, but it never completes.

On emacs-24, it works as expected.
