+Long: retry-all-errors
+Help: Retry all errors (use with --retry)
+Added: 7.71.0
+Category: curl
+---
+Retry on any error. This option is used together with --retry.
+
+This option is the "sledgehammer" of retrying. Do not use this option by
+default (eg in curlrc), there may be unintended consequences such as sending or
+receiving duplicate data. Do not use with redirected input or output. You'd be
+much better off handling your unique problems in shell script. Please read the
+example below.
+
+Warning: For server compatibility curl attempts to retry failed flaky transfers
+as close as possible to how they were started, but this is not possible with
+redirected input or output. For example, before retrying it removes output data
+from a failed partial transfer that was written to an output file. However this
+is not true of data redirected to a | pipe or > file, which are not reset. We
+strongly suggest don't parse or record output via redirect in combination with
+this option, since you may receive duplicate data.
