The default HTTP client clones http.DefaultTransport with ResponseHeaderTimeout = 10 min (body not bounded); if DefaultTransport has been wrapped the header timeout is skipped. shouldRetry returns false when the body isn't replayable; honors x-should-retry true/false; otherwise retries 408, 409, 429, >=500.
