+        As with connectionMaxTtl above, the retry keys were renamed between maven-resolver 1.x
+        (aether.connector.http.*) and 2.x (aether.transport.http.*).
+        At the time of writing we were building with a version of Maven that requires the old ("connector") properties.
+        The "transport" keys are here for Maven 4.
+        Verified against ConfigurationProperties.java @ maven-resolver-1.9.27.
+        It does not hurt to keep both sets in here.
