# `--retry-all-errors`
Retry on any error. This option is used together with --retry.
This option is the "sledgehammer" of retrying. Do not use this option by
default (for example in your **curlrc**), there may be unintended consequences
such as sending or receiving duplicate data. Do not use with redirected input
or output. You might be better off handling your unique problems in a shell
script. Please read the example below.
**WARNING**: For server compatibility curl attempts to retry failed flaky
transfers as close as possible to how they were started, but this is not
possible with redirected input or output. For example, before retrying it
removes output data from a failed partial transfer that was written to an
output file. However this is not true of data redirected to a | pipe or \>
file, which are not reset. We strongly suggest you do not parse or record
output via redirect in combination with this option, since you may receive
duplicate data.
By default curl does not return error for transfers with an HTTP response code
that indicates an HTTP error, if the transfer was successful. For example, if
a server replies 404 Not Found and the reply is fully received then that is
not an error. When --retry is used then curl retries on some HTTP response
codes that indicate transient HTTP errors, but that does not include most 4xx
response codes such as 404. If you want to retry on all response codes that
indicate HTTP errors (4xx and 5xx) then combine with --fail.
