Do you use Go? It makes sense to me
The RoundTripper throws me off if anything. RetryRequest, RetryOnFailure, anything could be more descriptive.
It's an interface in the http package: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#RoundTripper
Til. Thanks, I hate it.
Does anyone outside the Go community call it a "RoundTripper"? I know what a retry is (and things like exponential backoff) and what GET and POST are, but not that, but I also hate Go, so...

EDIT: ah, followup replies elucidated me, it's just a goofy name for a Go-only thing
