NAME
LWP::UserAgent::Patch::Retry - Add retries
VERSION
version 0.01
SYNOPSIS
use LWP::UserAgent::Patch::Retry -n => 2, -delay => 3;DESCRIPTION
This patch adds retries to LWP::UserAgent when response from request is not a success.
Can be used with WWW::Mechanize because that module uses LWP::UserAgent.
CONFIGURATION
-n => INT (default: 2)
Number of retries. Default is 2, which means it will retry twice (so the total number of requests is 3).
-delay => INT (default: 3)
Delay between retries, in seconds.
-criteria => CODE
Specify custom criteria of whether to retry. Will be passed ($self, $response) and should return 1 if retry should be performed. For example if you do not want to retry on 404 errors.
FAQ
Why not subclass?
By patching, you do not need to replace all the client code which uses LWP::UserAgent (or WWW::Mechanize, and so on).
TODO
More complex retrying delays (exponential backoff).
