Gnutella Forums - Support for Retry-After header

Hello,

limewire should support the retry after header if it wants to download from PARQ enabled servents.

Quoting from RFC 2068 about HTTP/1.1:

Quote:

14.38 Retry-After

The Retry-After response-header field can be used with a 503 (Service
Unavailable) response to indicate how long the service is expected to
be unavailable to the requesting client. The value of this field can
be either an HTTP-date or an integer number of seconds (in decimal)
after the time of the response.

Retry-After = "Retry-After" ":" ( HTTP-date | delta-seconds )

Two examples of its use are

Retry-After: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59 GMT
Retry-After: 120

In the latter example, the delay is 2 minutes.

gtk-gnutella currently only sends the retry time in seconds.

thanks
