I’ve been using this in my small app for a little bit and have noticed a decent reduction in the number of WTF errors w/ HTTPoison. In a production system HTTP requests are extremely failure prone and I’ve found that simply retrying the request after a small timeout fixes the problem. I’ve received everything from inabilities to resolve domain names (that clearly exist) to 500 errors from Amazon S3.
