Subject: 28.0.50; eww: often not connected to sites, required g multiple times
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2020 20:24:32 +0300

I am experiencing this behaviour so many times, I wish to open some
website, like www.gnu.org, then eww maybe connects immediately, maybe
not.

My connection with graphical browsers is just fine, maybe they persist
better.

I do not get error, I just see that eww is kind of trying to connect,
but nothing comes on screen until I press g to retry again, usually
second time it works.

This behavior I am observing for last days or weeks and I do not
remember it before.

I'm not seeing this behaviour -- is this with "emacs -Q"?  Is your
network/wifi connection unstable, perhaps?

Yes, it can be, as I dwell from time to time in polluted Kampala, Uganda, when not in Europe.

Then better close it.

It would be nice if Emacs network connections in general had more retry
logic... well, not in general, but more of a ... framework for retrying,
because it's a recurring issue: Emacs doesn't handle networking problems
as well as could be hoped for.

But there's already an open bug report for that, so I'm closing this one.
