Re: [whatwg/fetch] Delay network errors to prevent port scanning (#338)

as I mentioned at the mic - there are positive use cases involving errors that need to be included in the analysis here.. failover, etc.

happy-eyeballs looks a lot like port scanning.

and its not enough to delay errors..  you need to make errors and success operate in a fixed time as some errors are faster than success (TCP RST) and some are slower (unbound ports that don't generate ICMP) and the definition of how long success takes covers the range of about 1ms to 2000ms.

not an easy problem - perhaps not worthwhile?
