I think this means exponential backoff.

kees' patch looks good (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39453235/lazr.restfulclient_0.9.11-1ubuntu1.debdiff) but it assumes that the problem will go away immediately. I think exponential backoff would be smarter.

I'm also not sure how to test it. Maybe I could rig up a fake WSGI app that fails a configurable number of times.
