Intermittent parallel/test-http-regr-gh-2821 failure on V6.9.2 (Windows)

Version: 6.9.2
Platform: 32-bit (Win2012)

=== release test-http-regr-gh-2821 ===
Path: parallel/test-http-regr-gh-2821
events.js:160
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: read ECONNRESET
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
    at TCP.onread (net.js:569:26)
Command: C:\node\node\out\Release\node.exe C:\node\node\test\parallel\test-http-regr-gh-2821.js

We're seeing this failure intermittently on Windows.

FWIW, there is at least one existing "tolerate ECONNRESET on Windows" workarounds in our tests:

node/test/parallel/test-child-process-fork-regr-gh-2847.js

Lines 18 to 24 in eceef76

	if (common.isWindows) {
	s.on('error', function(err) {
	// Prevent possible ECONNRESET errors from popping up
	if (err.code !== 'ECONNRESET')
	throw err;
	});
	}

If the cause gets sorted out for this file, maybe the workaround can be removed from that one.

@Akpotohwo are you running the tests inside a virtual machine?

[Akpotohwo]

@bzoz Yes I am

That could be related to a bug in virtualbox 5.0.28 and 5.1.8: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16084. Also you can try this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/981344/an-application-may-receive-the-10054-error-when-the-application-receives-data-from-a-connection-on-a-computer-that-is-running-windows-7-or-windows-server-2008-r2-if-a-tdi-filter-driver-is-installed
