This option is used together with --retry. 18 19This option is the "sledgehammer" of retrying. Do not use this option by 20default (for example in your **curlrc**), there may be unintended consequences 21such as sending or receiving duplicate data. Do not use with redirected input 22or output. You might be better off handling your unique problems in a shell 23script. Please read the example below. 24 25**WARNING**: For server compatibility curl attempts to retry failed flaky 26transfers as close as possible to how they were started, but this is not 27possible with redirected input or output. For example, before retrying it 28removes output data from a failed partial transfer that was written to an 29output file. However this is not true of data redirected to a | pipe or \> 30file, which are not reset. We strongly suggest you do not parse or record 31output via redirect in combination with this option, since you may receive 32duplicate data. 33 34By default curl does not return error for transfers with an HTTP response code 35that indicates an HTTP error, if the transfer was successful. For example, if 36a server replies 404 Not Found and the reply is fully received then that is 37not an error. When --retry is used then curl retries on some HTTP response 38codes that indicate transient HTTP errors, but that does not include most 4xx 39response codes such as 404. If you want to retry on all response codes that 40indicate HTTP errors (4xx and 5xx) then combine with --fail. 41
