Follow-up Comment #4, bug #20327 (project wget):

FYI, Debarshi,

I suspect that you'll find your chief difficulty to be actually rolling the
code into Wget itself, whose code isn't currently flexible enough to make such
a change easily.

In particular, the http_loop and ftp_loop functions, both of which are
responsible to retry the download until it succeeds (or fails hard), share a
lot of logic, and need to be refactored (something I'm hoping to tackle soon).
Rather than roll yet another sftp_loop function, it'll probably be a little
easier to wait until I can refactor it into a single url_loop function.
