[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (MODCLUSTER-492) mod_cluster should allow failover of GET requests by default

Radoslav Husar commented on MODCLUSTER-492:
-------------------------------------------

The idea is that since GETs are supposed to be idempotent they can be failed over, i.e. retried, even after they started processing -- which we currently don't do nor support.

> For any well developed web application, all GET requests should be idempotent and safe for failing over to another node. This should be default behavior, with a configuration option to disable it.
