// Package retryablehttp provides a familiar HTTP client interface with
// automatic retries and exponential backoff. It is a thin wrapper over the
// standard net/http client library and exposes nearly the same public API.
// This makes retryablehttp very easy to drop into existing programs.
//
// retryablehttp performs automatic retries under certain conditions. Mainly, if
// an error is returned by the client (connection errors etc), or if a 500-range
// response is received, then a retry is invoked. Otherwise, the response is
// returned and left to the caller to interpret.
//
// Requests which take a request body should provide a non-nil function
// parameter. The best choice is to provide either a function satisfying
// ReaderFunc which provides multiple io.Readers in an efficient manner, a
// *bytes.Buffer (the underlying raw byte slice will be used) or a raw byte
// slice. As it is a reference type, and we will wrap it as needed by readers,
// we can efficiently re-use the request body without needing to copy it. If an
// io.Reader (such as a *bytes.Reader) is provided, the full body will be read
// prior to the first request, and will be efficiently re-used for any retries.
// ReadSeeker can be used, but some users have observed occasional data races
// between the net/http library and the Seek functionality of some
// implementations of ReadSeeker, so should be avoided if possible.
