Description
Let's double check our process and retry a failed upload when a recoverable error occurs.
Not sure if we can do this in FluxC layer, instead at app layer.
Note: This should take in account the type of errors, if for example you are in offline mode it's not worth to retry. If the error is not recoverable is not worth to retry.
Question: Should we check the type of network available (WIFI or 4G) and try to re-upload silently on WiFi only?
