http: use Retry-After HTTP header to optimize retries

2024-11-18T12:44:49Z

Some mirrors like snapshot.debian.org apply strict http rate limits. While apt already has an exponential backoff mechanism implemented, this is not sufficient due to the following reasons: 1. all retries happen roughly at the same time 2. the retry-after information from the server is not used We fix this by improving the algorithm: First, if present, the timestamp or duration of the Retry-After header is added to the exponential backoff, optimizing for success-on-second-try. Second, a random delay is added (delay += [0, delay]) to distribute the retries to not immediately run into the limit again. To avoid super-long delays, this is capped by the configured maximum delay. This logic only becomes active if the option Acquire::Retries::HandleRetryAfter is enabled.
