    // This method is an attempt to safely get a free port from the OS.  Most of the time,
    // when binding to dynamic port "0" the OS increments the assigned port, so it's safe
    // to re-use the assigned port in another process.  However, occasionally the OS will reuse
    // a recently assigned port instead of incrementing, which causes flaky tests with AddressInUse
    // exceptions.  This method should only be used when the application itself cannot use
    // dynamic port "0" (e.g. IISExpress).  Most functional tests using raw Kestrel
    // (with status messages enabled) should directly bind to dynamic port "0" and scrape
    // the assigned port from the status message, which should be 100% reliable since the port
    // is bound once and never released.
