Hi everyone, I'm in the process of implementing a consumer for the streaming API, but while perusing the documentation I noticed an inconsistency in http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Streaming-API-Documentation
""" When a network error (TCP/IP level) is encountered, back off linearly. Perhaps start at 250 milliseconds, double, and cap at 16 seconds. Network layer problems are generally transitory and clear quickly. When a HTTP error (> 200) is returned, back off linearly. Perhaps start with a 10 second wait, double on each subsequent failure, and finally cap the wait at 240 seconds. """ both blocks tell to use a linear backoff, but both give an example of a geometric growth, not a linear one. So I guess the backof shpould actually be binary-exponential and maybe the doc should be updated to avoid confusion. Hope this helps someone else :)
