[ruby-core:42867] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6001] Retry idempotent HTTP requests for more errors

Issue #6001 has been updated by Eric Hodel.

File net.http.retry_errors.2.patch added

=begin
Please check this improved patch.

The new patch separates open and connect errors from response read/write errors.  This allows OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError to be rescued only when there is an error in the connection (from SSL_read or SSL_write) and not an error in the certificate verification or other permanent SSL issues.

The new patch introduces Net::HTTP::OpenTimeout to separate a timeout for opening a connection from response read/write timeouts.

The new patch ignores Errno::EINVAL and removes the duplicated Errno::ECONNRESET

The net-http-persistent gem implements #5790 / #5813 but for more error types:

https://github.com/drbrain/net-http-persistent/blob/1b5f84d020/lib/net/http/persistent.rb#L811-813

These additional error types should be rescued by net/http and retried.
