Allow Request Retry to Origin
In some cases, the result of a backend request to your origin for a given CacheFly service may be either:
A. Reception of a response code of 500 or higher (server-side error), or
B. No response before the connection timeout occurs.
By enabling Allow Request Retry to Origin for the service, you can ensure that in these cases there is a retry of the backend request to the origin.
Note that the timing of the retry may depend on other options that you have configured for the service, such as Origin Error TTL and Connect Timeout.
