             Summary: Improve extensibility of DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1207
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1207
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.2 Final
            Reporter: Joshua Spiewak
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: 
Enable_sub-classes_to_modify_the_set_of_exceptions_that_are_rejected_for_retry.patch

Under certain circumstances, such as when a service is behind a load balancer, 
it is desirable for a client to retry a request after timeout, rather than 
simply extending the timeout. This would allow the client to connect to a 
different service behind the load balancer.

Currently DefaultHttpRequestRetryHandler rejects four types of Exceptions for 
retry, including InterruptedIOException, the parent class of 
SocketTimeoutException. The attached patch collects the Exceptions into a Set, 
and exposes the Set to sub-classes. This should allow sub-classes to remove 
InterruptedIOException if they see fit, but still get the benefits of the other 
logic in retryRequest, without copying the entire class.
