Request plugin does not poll when first attempt fails due to network/connection failure #19

Description

The function makeRequest() in request.js ignores the pollForMs/pollDelayMs attribute, if the first connection attempt fails due to a network error (e.g. service not up yet). This is exactly the scenario the attribute(s) was/were introduced for in the first place though:

      function makeRequest() {
         return fetch( url, options )
            .then( response => processResponse( item, response, options ), err => {
               // Treat network errors as regular FAILURE (since e.g. the required host is not up)
               const failures = [ `${err} (${method} ${url})` ];
               return {
                  outcome: 'FAILURE',
                  failures
               };
            } )
            .then( result => {
               if( pollForMs > Date.now() - startMs && result.outcome !== 'SUCCESS' ) {
                  return delay( pollDelayMs ).then( makeRequest );
               }
               return result;
            } );
      }

With the following change the function works as expected:

      function makeRequest() {
         return fetch( url, options )
            .then( response => processResponse( item, response, options ), err => {
               if( pollForMs > Date.now() - startMs ) {
                  return delay( pollDelayMs ).then( makeRequest );
               }

               // Treat network errors as regular FAILURE (since e.g. the required host is not up)
               const failures = [ `${err} (${method} ${url})` ];
               return {
                  outcome: 'FAILURE',
                  failures
               };
            } )
            .then( result => {
               if( pollForMs > Date.now() - startMs && result.outcome !== 'SUCCESS' ) {
                  return delay( pollDelayMs ).then( makeRequest );
               }
               return result;
            } );
      }
