If at first you don't succeed, try try again... Actually, the problem is a missing "and" connecting the phrases. Here's take two: 8.2.3 Automatic Retrying of Requests If a user agent sees the transport connection close before it receives all of the final response to its request or sequence of requests, and if the requests or sequence are idempotent (see section 9.1.2), the user agent MAY retry the request or sequence without user interaction. If the request method or sequence is not idempotent, the user agent SHOULD NOT retry the request without user confirmation. (Confirmation by user-agent software with semantic understanding of the application MAY substitute for user confirmation.) - Jim
