Apparently, url-http has some kind of a retry mechanism,
so when the failed process is deleted then the process sentinel
restarts the connection.

Which does not feel entirely right, because if I delete the process
explicitly then the process sentinel should be deactivated,
instead of being called and letting it restart the connection.
