send_request() knows to only return NE_RETRY if it is using a persistent 
connection - see the "retry" variable.  The logic here ensures that a 
persistent connection is closed for a non-idempotent request; so 
send_request() should never return NE_RETRY there.  There are a bunch of 
test cases for this so it should work as intended :)
