CAMEL-23345: Document HTTP 429 Retry-After hang and automaticRetriesDisabled workaround#23309
Merged
Conversation
…isabled workaround Adds a new section to the HTTP component docs explaining that Apache HttpClient 5 (since 5.5.x) honors the Retry-After header on 429 responses, which can cause the component to appear hung for long durations. Documents the automaticRetriesDisabled option as the workaround. Also improves the @metadata description of automaticRetriesDisabled to mention the 429 use case.
