RFC :)
We've seen a few pipelines fails because of rate-limit / network issue / don't trust the Internet.
For instance, we've had instances of pipelines fail because of rate-limiting it logged in the Concourse job's step logs: "Not found for ". Our developers were quite confused by this and we wanted to better handle some HTTP errors to give relevant feedback in the resource's logs.
Therefore, I've added some error handling and retry mechanism for curlgh. The main idea is to dump the HTTP response headers in /tmp/responseheaders and check whether we had a 200 OK back (or not - and then handle it).
