[JENKINS-59050] httpRequest automatically retries requests

We use the httpRequest plugin to trigger a script on a webhook which takes quite some time until it returns the results.

If there is no answer within 4min the plugin automatically sends another GET request. There is no way to disable this or change this timeout and it does not look from the documentation that this should be the intended behavior (no retry is mentioned anywhere).
