Motivation: When used as a library in LND, current behavior means that a
single request failing will result in the entire process shutting down.
This adds behavior similar to the retries of persistent RPC connections
to HTTP request.
Room for future improvement:
Unfortunately due to the way Go http requests are consumed, I had to move down the construction of the request. This resulted in
sendPostDetails
andsendPost
becoming redundant.
