## Install

```bash
$ yarn add @comunica/actor-http-retry-body
```

## Configure

After installing, this package can be added to your engine's configuration as follows:

```json
{
  "@context": [
    "https://linkedsoftwaredependencies.org/bundles/npm/@comunica/actor-http-retry-body/^5.0.0/components/context.jsonld"
  ],
  "actors": [
    {
      "@id": "urn:comunica:default:http/actors#retry-body",
      "@type": "ActorHttpRetryBody"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Context Parameters

* `KeysHttp.httpRetryBodyCount`: The number of retries when a response body stream errors mid-read. Responses are buffered until complete. This has no default, and must be set to a value greater than `0` to enable body retries.
* `KeysHttp.httpRetryBodyDelayFallback`: The fallback retry delay in milliseconds between body retries. Defaults to `0`.
* `KeysHttp.httpRetryBodyAllowUnsafe`: Allow body retries for non-idempotent methods or non-replayable request bodies. Defaults to `false`.
* `KeysHttp.httpRetryBodyMaxBytes`: The optional maximum number of bytes to buffer per attempt. When exceeded, body retries are disabled and the response continues streaming as-is. By default, this is unset.
