How does “curl –retry-max-time ” work?

curl --connect-timeout 5 \
     --max-time 10 \
     --retry 5 \
     --retry-delay 0 \
     --retry-max-time 60 \
     'http://www.site.com/download/file.txt'

|<---0---->| {<---1---->|  |<---2---->|    |<---3---->|   |<---4---->|   }            |<---5---->|
|....==    | {...==     |  |....==    |    |.....|        |..=== =   |   }
             {                                                           }

NOTATION

=====  downloading...       (file size is 5)
.....  --connect-timeout 5
|<->|  --max-time 10
<-5->  --retry 5
>| |<  --retry-delay 0      ([default] exp backoff algo)
{   }  --retry-max-time 60  (GAME OVER)

NOTE

• retry delay 1, 2, 4, 8 …
• retry #3 connect timeout
• retry #5 never happen
• download failed at END (71 sec)
