isCertificateVerificationError: useserrors.Asfor*tls.CertificateVerificationError,x509.UnknownAuthorityError,x509.HostnameErrorandx509.CertificateInvalidError.CheckRecoverableErrorsreturns no retry for these errors, wrapped in*url.Erroror not.Tests:
TestCheckRecoverableErrorsCertificateErrors: unknown authority, hostname mismatch, expired, bare and wrapped forms. main FAIL, branch PASS. A network error stays retryable.TestDoDoesNotRetryCertificateErrors(localhttptestTLS server,RetryMax: 3): main opens 4 connections for an untrusted certificate; branch opens 1. Hostname mismatch: 1 connection.Test_DefaultHttpClient, which needs internet and was run without network (it fails the same way on main). go vet and golangci-lint: clean.Behaviour change: a certificate verification error returns at once. Clients that skip verification (
InsecureSkipVerify) do not change.
