[RFC] automatically retrying network connections

[Robert Pluim]

Hi,

one of the consequences of asking the user questions during network
connection setup is that the server they're trying to connect to might
have decided to close the connection by the time they've finished
answering.

This suggests that there should be an option to retry the connection
in such a situation. I have a trial implementation involving a new
parameter to open-network-stream to request retrying, but was
wondering if it might not be better if it was a globally enabled
default. Iʼll note that various browsers retry failing connections
automatically.

Thanks

Robert
