[mylar-dev] connection timeouts

[Eugene Kuleshov <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

 It looks like current bugzilla slowness on eclipse.org highlighted 
several issues including some inconsistent error handling and absence of 
retry.

 I already pointed out earlier that not loading task info in the 
background makes user to wait when server roundrip will be completed on 
editor opening. Which is quite noticeable, but also adds some confusion 
if task has the stale data and refresh failed. I've seen that rich 
editor has missing comment comparing to browser tab in the same editor.

 What is even worse is that failures on submission. In this case 
request timed out with all kind of errors. So, task is staying in 
"outgoing" status, but in fact comment actually made to the server and 
on second submit you can get either mid air collision, or for new task 
duplicates can be created.

 One of the great features of Mylar is the offline task support, but 
those issues are killing all the benefits. I wonder if there could be 
some easy fix for that stuff, perhaps increase some timeouts or make 
them configurable...
