Re: [PATCH v2 3/3] http: automatically retry some requests

I see.  With Peff's proposal, the backend service could still set
Retry-After, and *modern* machines with new enough libcurl would still
respect it, but older machines[*] would have to use some fallback
behavior.

I suppose that fallback behavior could be to not retry at all.

Yup, that is a quite attractive approach.  We'll let the passage of
time work for us.
