This might be intended behavior, it appears that only request (incoming) flow files get routed to relationships like "retry", but you have no incoming request flow file so there is technically nothing to retry (the processor will "retry" the next time it runs). In your case it sounds like you'd need a RouteOnAttribute for the "response" relationship in order to handle responses when there was no request flow file.
Alternatively, what would you expect the behavior to be? Would responses and requests (if present) be routed to "retry", or would a "fake" request be generated for a GET with no incoming flow file? In the former case you'd have two types of flow files to deal with (is it request or response?), in the latter case the flow file would likely only be an indication that a GET occurred, as it would have no content, and if the retry route were connected back to InvokeHttp, it seems functionally the same as the InvokeHttp running on its own schedule (it would try the GET again later when scheduled). Not saying either is necessarily bad, just wanted to get your thoughts.
