- Add a paragraph explaining that curl does not consider HTTP response errors as curl errors, and how that behavior can be modified by using --retry and --fail. The --retry-all-errors doc says "Retry on any error" which some users may find misleading without the added explanation.

Retry on any error. This option is used together with --retry.
|
|
|
|
This option is the "sledgehammer" of retrying. Do not use this option by
|
|
default (eg in curlrc), there may be unintended consequences such as sending or
|
|
receiving duplicate data. Do not use with redirected input or output. You'd be
|
|
much better off handling your unique problems in shell script. Please read the
|
|
example below.
|
|
|
|
Warning: For server compatibility curl attempts to retry failed flaky transfers
|
|
as close as possible to how they were started, but this is not possible with
|
|
redirected input or output. For example, before retrying it removes output data
|
|
from a failed partial transfer that was written to an output file. However this
|
|
is not true of data redirected to a | pipe or > file, which are not reset. We
|
|
strongly suggest don't parse or record output via redirect in combination with
|
|
this option, since you may receive duplicate data.
|
|
|
|
By default curl will not error on an HTTP response code that indicates an HTTP
|
|
error, if the transfer was successful. For example, if a server replies 404
|
|
Not Found and the reply is fully received then that is not an error. When
|
|
--retry is used then curl will retry on some HTTP response codes that indicate
|
|
transient HTTP errors, but that does not include most 4xx response codes such
|
|
as 404. If you want to retry on all response codes that indicate HTTP errors
|
|
(4xx and 5xx) then combine with --fail.
