Comment(by DD32):

 Thats a method i thought of, Once a transport fails, black list it, if it
 fails after a timeout blacklist, blacklist it twice as long. etc.

 The problem with that patch, is that the ::test() functions use very
 little processor time, Thats not the place where transports fail, They
 fail when the request is made, and instead, it errors out (Which could be
 for any number of network-related issues, and not just transport issues)
