I believe this is what Microsoft calls "keep-alive pooling of anonymous
connections across sessions". I remember looking for an option or registry
tweak to disable it but I came up empty.

Unloading winhttp between tests would work around the problem I guess,
but it's a bit heavy-handed. Using a different host for each test or
using authenticated connections to a single host should also work around it.
