HTTPS request timeouts when Pode is running on PS 7.4

[jfromh]

Describe the Bug

I'm having an issue with Invoke-WebRequest/Invoke-RestMethod timeouts using SSL when Pode is running on PowerShell 7.4 but not 7.2. This is similar to #977 but this seems to be a server-side issue. On the client side, I have tried 7.2 and 7.4 but it doesn't seem to matter, and the browser doesn't seem to be affected by this.

Steps To Reproduce

Server:

Start-PodeServer {
    New-PodeLoggingMethod | Enable-PodeErrorLogging -Level 'Error', 'Debug', 'Verbose'

    Add-PodeEndpoint -Name 'HTTPS' -Address '*' -Protocol 'HTTPS' -Port 443 -CertificateStoreName 'My' -CertificateStoreLocation 'LocalMachine' -CertificateThumbprint $Thumbprint

    Add-PodeRoute -Method 'GET' -Path '/test' -ScriptBlock {
        Write-PodeTextResponse -Value (Get-Date)
    }
}

Client:

While ($True) {
    (Invoke-WebRequest -Method 'GET' -Uri $URI -TimeoutSec 1).Content; Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
}

Expected Behavior

When Pode is running on 7.2 I get an updated timestamp every second.
When Pode is running on 7.4 I get mostly timeouts with random successful timestamps in between.

Platform

• OS: Windows
• Browser: Chrome
• Versions:
  • Pode: 2.10.0
  • PowerShell: 7.4.2

It's not a Pode issue but an Invoke-WebRequest one
try with curl.exe, and will work
Check this pester code https://github.com/Badgerati/Pode/blob/develop/tests/integration/RestApi.Https.Tests.ps1
we have exactly the same issue

I've come across the Invoke-WebRequest issues in other projects with PS5.1 but this problem only shows up when the Pode server is running on PS7.4. When running on PS7.2 I get no timeouts with Invoke-WebRequest.
