Section 1, Exercise 2: Retrying Failed Requests

[simon-wolf]

The code in the ePub version contains a bug which is not in the PDF version with the root variable because it includes /posts.

In addition there is a related issue in the line:

const content = await getWithRetry(`${root}?id=${p.id}`, 3);

It should be:

const content = await getWithRetry(`${root}/post?id=${post.id}`, 3);

Thank you but there's no rush to get me a new ePub. I'm cross-checking it with the PDF version for now because it looks like some updates and edits didn't make it across. If it is easier, maybe wait until I've looked through the rest of the book before creating a new ePub.

The issue itself is in the code for Example 2 in the first section.

This is the ePub version:

This is the PDF version:

The root path in the ePub version is tied to posts.
