Motivation: When used as a library in LND, current behavior means that a
single request failing will result in the entire process shutting down.

This adds behavior similar to the retries of persistent RPC connections
to HTTP request.

  • Initial backoff: 500ms
  • Linear increase
  • Max retries: 10

Room for future improvement:

  • Make configurable
  • Add jitter
  • Tests for retry behavior

Unfortunately due to the way Go http requests are consumed, I had to move down the construction of the request. This resulted in sendPostDetails and sendPost becoming redundant.

@jcvernaleo @Roasbeef Just rebased on master and resolved the conflicts. Any chance this will be looked at anytime soon ? Have been running with this for lnd for some time with significant improvement in reliability
