Http Protocol Retry Mechanism with Backoff

[aveiros]

I have been using the Http Protocol as I noticed that the HttpConnection has the apache client with a retry handler. Currently there's no way to introduce a back off on the retry requests.

Could this be something you guys could introduce as an optional parameter?
Or provide a way to replace the existing retry handler?

Thanks

@aveiros thanks for reporting and pay attention to these considerations when providing your custom retry handler:
