HTTP transaction retries

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the memory;
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• establish a data connection over a first network interface, wherein the data connection is supported by a first transport connection that initiates a plurality of hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) transactions;
• receive an advisory signal, wherein contents of the advisory signal are based, at least in part, on network radio conditions for the first network interface and at least one second network interface;
• determine, responsive to the contents of the advisory signal including first information, that at least a first portion of HTTP transactions of the plurality of HTTP transactions can be retried without error;
• terminate, without notifying an application layer, at least the first portion of HTTP transactions;
• and
• initiate, via a second transport connection established over the at least one second network interface, retries of the at least first portion of HTTP transactions.

A non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing program instructions executable by processing circuitry to cause a user equipment device (UE) to:

• establish, at a hypertext transport protocol (HTTP) stack of the UE, a data connection supported by a first transport connection over a first network interface of the UE, wherein the first transport connection initiates a plurality of HTTP transactions, and wherein the data connection is initiated by an application executing at an application layer of the UE;
• receive, at the HTTP stack, an advisory signal that includes contents based, at least in part, on network radio conditions for the first network interface and at least one second network interface;
• determine, responsive to the contents of the advisory signal including first information, that at least a first portion of HTTP transactions of the plurality of HTTP transactions can be retried without error;
• terminate, without notifying the application layer, at least the first portion of HTTP transactions;
• initiate, via a second transport connection established over the at least one second network interface, retries of the at least first portion of HTTP transactions;
• and
• send HTTP transaction results to the application layer.
