HTTPoison Autoretry

I’ve been using this in my small app for a little bit and have noticed a decent reduction in the number of WTF errors w/ HTTPoison. In a production system HTTP requests are extremely failure prone and I’ve found that simply retrying the request after a small timeout fixes the problem. I’ve received everything from inabilities to resolve domain names (that clearly exist) to 500 errors from Amazon S3.

Let me know if you like it.

Did you consider using Retry in your package? Retry is quite configurable and has support for linear and exponential backoff strategies, among other things.

I’m curious, why use a macro for this? Seems like a function would be fine.

Oh awesome, didn’t know about that. Yeah, perhaps thats a better more generic library…
