Hi Michael

No, I do not think your current approach is wrong. The contract of
HttpEntity is such that if HttpEntity#isRepeatable returns true the
HttpEntity#writeTo method is expected to produce the same entity
representation upon each invocation. HttpClient should be able to
automatically re-try the request without any intervention as long as
the HttpEntity contract is correctly implemented.

HttpClient automatically throws NonRepeatableRequestException if a
method re-execution is impossible due to the closed entity being non-
repeatable. I do not think Wagon needs to provide any additional
handling logic unless there are some Wagon specific requirements I am
not aware of. 

Hope this helps.
