Object: http.default_retry

Simple default retry policy for idempotent targets.

If your target is non-idempotent, use default_retry_non_idempotent instead.

Retries on 429 (Too Many Requests), 502 (Bad Gateway), 503 (Service unavailable), and 504 (Gateway Timeout), as well as on any ConnectionError, ConnectionFailedError and TimeoutError.

Uses max_retries of 5, and backoff as per retry.default_backoff.
