Auto retry of a request when a 500 proxy error is returned.

Hi Scott,

 

 

As boomchke pointed out it is possible to retry requests based on the response code. The overhead of saving every request's headers might not be horrible. But I'd be concerned with trying to do this for POST requests also. You will need to manually collect the payload for all POSTs. Another issue is that you cannot currently collect more than 4Mb of data. So you should check the Content-Length header to make sure it's less than 4Mb before trying to buffer the request data:
