Summary0003958: implement retry policies on semi-expected errors (i.e 500 internal error)
DescriptionIf the mint (or merchant) HTTP server is down during a Taler operation, the HTTP client (wallet/merchant) needs to retry the request. Like after 1s in case of very temporary network outages, 1 m for short-term outages (power fail, LAN failure, etc.), 1h-1d for sustained service outages. Eventually the client needs to progress to complaining to the authorities (i.e. the auditor).

We need to document this progression of error handling in the Taler paper and the specification --- and implement it.
TagsNo tags attached.

Documentation (paper, api.taler.net) has been updated.

Actually, after some internal discussions we have decided that this kind of error handling should be left to the higher-level application (or a libtalerwallet) and not this low-level API.
