Handling rate-limiting in the browser with AP.request

mehmetaydogdu · June 13, 2022, 2:05am

We are using AP.request javascript API inside the browser. We recognized that in case of 429 http status response code, the xhr.getAllResponseHeaders() only returns “Content-Type” header. We need “retry-after” header so that we can handle rate limiting. Could you please change the Atlassian JS to include retry-after response header?

I suspect the below JS snippet.

Hi @ibuchanan ,

Thanks for the prompt action.
I can’t vote the request because the issue is not visible to me.
