HTTP(S) Request Retry

request-retry is a Node.js library designed to automatically re-attempt HTTP(S) requests that fail due to transient network errors or specific HTTP status codes like 5xx and 429 (Too Many Requests). It functions as a wrapper, providing a drop-in replacement API for the underlying HTTP client, but with added configurable retry logic including `maxAttempts`, `retryDelay`, and a customizable `retryStrategy`. The current stable version, 8.0.0, marks a significant shift, migrating its core dependency from the unmaintained `request` library to the more actively developed `postman-request` fork, addressing security concerns and ensuring continued functionality. This package is crucial for building robust network clients that can gracefully handle temporary service disruptions, simplifying the implementation of resilient communication patterns by abstracting away common retry mechanisms.
