Re: [whatwg/fetch] Request body streams that cannot be retried (#538)

Even ignoring 0-RTT, there's not really any limit on retry.

Consider the case where you are doing a huge POST. The amount of data you have in flight at any given time is dictated by the usual transport mechanisms, but the bottom line is that the server can send you a TCP RST half-way through, and at that point the HTTP stack can either retry or not, but you're basically in a posture where you have a network error and you need to do something.
