Oh, got it. In that case, the fix should be enforcing a 0 value is never used. I'd change this to validate the value with a `checkArgument`, and fail if it is 0 (and add the corresponding test).
There are other mechanisms to disable the `BackoffLimitedRetryHandler`. Apis can just override the [HttpApiModule#bindRetryHandlers](https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/jclouds/rest/config/HttpApiModule.java#L73) method as follows: ```java bind(HttpErrorHandler.class).annotatedWith(ServerError.class).toInstance(HttpRetryHandler.NEVER_RETRY); ``` Or just use it by default and let users to provide a custom module when creating the context with that same binding, if they want to disable it. No need to say this same mechanism can be used to inject a custom implementation of the retry handler. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/644#issuecomment-69992672
