[squid-users] A question regarding request retries

Hi,

We've observed that Squid retries a GET request twice upon
server-initiated unexpected disconnection, but no retry for a POST request
under similar situation.

Client Squid Server
  |---GET--->| |
  | |---GET--->| initiali request
  | |<---FIN---|
  | |---GET--->| 1st retry
  | |<---FIN---|
  | |---GET--->| 2nd retry
  | |<---FIN---|
  |<---503---| |

  |---POST-->| |
  | |---POST-->|
  | |<---FIN---|
  |<---503---| |

Is this distinction by design?

Thanks and regards,
