Description

Currently, the UA considers the report successfully sent if it receives a 2xx response code. However, some features might want to require other criteria to consider a report successfully sent: for example, retry until a 2xx response code is received over a connection using a CT-logged certificate.

It would be nice for the API to allow this somehow, even if just exposing the properties of the connection/response when a report is successfully sent so that the feature can re-enqueue a report if it wasn't sent to its satisfaction.
