My understanding of the code is that we only retry when getting an error
object, but not if we got an HTTP status code. There's either no proper HTTP
status returned by this particular wiki setup, or the request library returns
an error when it should not. 

I just tested this locally, and there's no retrying on unauthorized requests.
This means that this is probably an IIS-specific issue, where IIS does not
return a proper HTTP status on authentication errors.
