    Description

      The results in every single request being retried. This has two negative impacts. The extra request adds a round trip which hurts response time on high latency connections. Additionally large posts have double the bandwidth consumption and can be interpreted as failures. For example a 300 mb upload in the console would likely lead to the user assuming a hang.
