Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-4921:
-----------------------------------
I assume this is worked on now, so setting version to 7.1.0. Move out to
"sometime" if that's not the case.
> Safe HTTP methods should be retryable.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4921
> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core, HTTP
> Reporter: James Peach
> Assignee: Thomas Jackson
> Fix For: 7.1.0

>
> In {{HttpTransact::is_request_retryable}}, nothing seems to be retryable if
> you have sent any bytes. Following the RFCs, the default behaviour should
> allow safe (and also idempotent) method requests to be retried regardless of
> thether bytes were sent.
> "safe" methods (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.2.1): GET HEAD
> From conversations, it sounds like the ideal approach is to create a config
> option (which is transaction overrideable) which allows you to define the
> list of methods which are retryable (which wouldn't be limited to the
> well-known methods inside ATS).
