Re: [whatwg/fetch] New Proposal: Fetch retry (Issue #1838)

mnot left a comment (whatwg/fetch#1838)

My understanding is that browsers already do extensive retrying of failed requests, including POSTs (etc.) in some circumstances (e.g., if the connection is dropped before the request body is complete).

Is this proposal attempting to capture all of those use cases and surface them as Fetch arguments, or is this purely for non-platform consumers of fetch?

`Retry-Attempts` and `Retry-GUID` seem like an attempt at building a reliability protocol with servers. I wonder if this is scope creep. If not, it'd be good to coordinate with other use cases; see eg [Idempotency-Key](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpapi-idempotency-key-header/).
