A web server may return a 503 Service Unavailable response along with a Retry-After header to direct the client to retry the request at a later time. The Retry-After header may be a number of seconds, or a full HTTP timestamp (e.g. "Fri, 7 Mar 2014 17:22:14 GMT"). We have no reasonable way of parsing a full HTTP timestamp; if the server chooses to use this format then we simply retry after a fixed 5-second delay. As per RFC 2616, in the absence of a Retry-After header we treat a status code of 503 Service Unavailable as being equivalent to 500 Internal Server Error, and immediately fail the request.
