Clarification of HTTP Node Retry On Fail Behaviour

[rp2]

Clarification on behaviour of “Retry On Fail” setting within http request node.

Expected behaviour - regardless of the “Include Response Headers & Status code setting the HTTP request node will retry failed attempts -e.g. the connection aborted error below.

I think that the http request node is only retrying when the “Include Response Headers & Status Code” is false.

I would appreciation clarification on this behaviour.

Because the abort if from your side. Not the server.

n8n execute the request and timeout in 10 seconds by n8n. So it won’t retry unless the error is coming from the server.

Maybe add a longer timeout for this.

But hard to image there is an endpoint will need 10 seconds to connect.
