Contributions summary:Milovan primarily contributed to the core logic of the `excon` HTTP client, focusing on improving its robustness and functionality. They implemented features for handling URL-escaped proxy credentials within SSL sockets and refactored code to not reference legacy error classes. Furthermore, the user made changes to the idempotent request functionality, by allowing configurable retry errors and keeping retry options alphabetized. These changes improve the client's error handling and retry mechanisms.
