I know this is just an RFC, but the idea looks like it may have

Would we want to merge this functionality into the 'retry' filter (a
single filter, with a knob on whether to retry single requests
vs. full connection), or would that be too heavyweight for one filter?
I did look at that, but the current retry filter is complicated enough
and this would make it quite a lot more complicated (unless you can
see some easy way to do it).
Also the two filters do have somewhat different behaviour and perhaps
use cases.
I really need a way to test this with the curl plugin to check that it
really does what I think it does. In particular I'm not convinced
curl will actually go through the whole redirect phase in this case,
which would mean it doesn't actually solve Alexander's problem.
