[Bug-wget] Retry on host error

[Elliot Chandler]

Hello again,

Thank you for integrating the patch!

Regarding licensing, I don't have immediate plans to contribute more
patches to GNU (kind of swamped with things going on), but it's always a
possibility. I'm happy to fill out a copyright grant to irrevocably assign
ownership of my patches sent to GNU projects to FSF and/or GNU, which I
assume is what that entails: just let me know.

Sorry for overlooking that those earlier cases were supposed to fall
through; that was sloppy of me.

I tested --retry-on-host-error with and without --tries 3. With --tries 3
it stopped after 3 tries; without --tries 3 it kept going. Is there other
support that is needed, or something that I'm overlooking?

Thank you!

No need for that right now. And then, such an assignment is only
required for GNU projects copyrighted by FSF (e.g. for GNU Wget).

No, it was my mistake.

Thanks for your feedback.
