+- Added a --retry option to curl that takes a numerical option for the number
+  of times the operation should be retried. It is retried if a transient error
+  is detected or if a timeout occurred. By default, it will first wait one
+  second between the retries and then double the delay time between each retry
+  until the delay time is ten minutes which then will be the delay time
+  between all forthcoming retries. You can set a static delay time with
+  "--retry-delay [num]" where [num] is the number of seconds to wait between
+  each retry.
