Serf is resending requests that were waiting on the pipeline to be handled by the server, but when a read error is received it will not resend the request. Maybe ra_serf is doing that in some situations, but I don't think so either. The issue here is that serf trunk was ignoring a read error on the connection with an outstanding request, as a side effect if r1695. That has been fixed in r1696. Lieven
