[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 0/9] HTTP rate limiting and retry improvements

[Derek Buitenhuis]

This patch set adds support for properly handling HTTP 429 codes,
and their rate limiting, which is widely used and is standardized.

Changes since first set:
  * Added AVERROR_HTTP_TOO_MANY_REQUESTS top error_entries in error.c, per Andreas' review.
  * Made respect_retry_after unsigned and use strtoull, per James' review.
  * Added docs, as per Stefano's reviews./
  * Added a new option to limit the total reconnect delay.
     * Unfortunate, but HTTP connection management is messy business.
