Yes, that would make sense. Alternatively, the phrasing used in the
-doc package is just "if the connection fails in the middle".
If we were doing a full d-l-e package description review I would also
suggest s/Robust/robust/ in the synopsis, and some minor rephrasing of
the long description - I have no idea what it's supposed to mean for
an implementation to be "around" a connection. Is it an InputStream
library built on HttpURLConnection, or vice versa? Maybe something
like:
Description: robust HTTP client library for Java
This library provides a Java InputStream implementation of a
retryable HTTP connection, which reconnects automatically if a
connection fails in the middle.
