I wanted to ask if it would be at all sane to have the PostHTTP processor 
penalize a flowfile on 5xx response.  5xx indicates that the request may be 
good but it cannot be handle by the server Currently it seems the processor 
routes files eliciting this response to the failure output but does not 
penalize them.  What do we think of adding such penalization?

On a related note.  If a file penalized file is routed to a funnel that is 
connect to a processor via a connection with the OldestFlowFileFirst 
prioritizer will the consumption of files from that connection be blocked until 
penalization period is over?

What I am trying to accomplish is this: I am using PostHTTP to send files to 
web service that is throttling incoming data by returning a 500 response.  When 
that happens I want to slow down files being to that that service.

Thanks,

Chris McDermott.
