 Retry Plugin
 ============

-unreliable connections and servers. It relies on errors to throw exceptions, so you need to

+The ``RetryPlugin`` can automatically attempt to re-send a request that failed,
+to work around unreliable connections and servers. It re-sends the request when
+an exception is thrown, unless the exception is a HttpException for a status
+code in the 5xx server error range. Since version 2.0, responses with status
+codes in the 5xx range are also retried. Each retry attempt is delayed by an
+exponential backoff time.
