Description
PDF QR code generation occasionally fails with the following error:
stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to tcp://chart.apis.google.com:80 (Operation timed out) in application/libraries/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php on 230
This is a Zend Framework error caused by a failed connection to Google Charts API. This should be retry-able, but for some reason it just gives the error message instead of throwing the exception.

Research direction
Start in application/libraries/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php around line 230 and trace how the Google Charts API connection failure is handled during PDF QR code generation. Reproduce the timeout if possible and determine the expected retry or exception behavior; done means the failure no longer only emits the reported error message.
