+A guzzle middleware to keep track of the Retry-After HTTP header and fail
+consecutive requests until this time has passed.
+
+---
+
+## What is it for?
+
+Some HTTP servers may respond with a `Retry-After` [header][1], hinting the
+client when to resume doing further requests to the server. The reasons can
+differ in many ways, there is no strict case when to use that header. Most often
+it is used together with the response status code `429 Too Many Requests` doing
+rate limiting or with `503 Service Unavailable` when a dependency is offline or
+the server is in maintenance. In both cases the server hints the client when to
+retry the request to avoid preassure on the server that can not serve the
+request at that point in time. In some cases, if the client will not respect
+this back off request, the server may block or ban the client in some form.
+
+To avoid that case, you can use this middleware that is specifically made for
+the [guzzle http][2] client. Following the documentation about middlewares, you
+can keep track of the retry after header's back off period so that requests
+during that period will fail with a dedicated exception before they are event
+sent out.
+

+
+## What are the requirements?

+- PHP 8.0 or above

+## How to install it?

+use GuzzleHttp\Client;
+use GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack;
+use PoorPlebs\GuzzleRetryAfterMiddleware\RetryAfterException;
+
+/* Any implementation of the PSR-16 (simple cache) interface. In case of using
+ * this package with Laravel, it could look something like:
+ */
+$cache = Cache::store('array');
+
+$handlerStack = HandlerStack::create();
+
+// Where to put this middleware in the middleware stack depends on the usecase.
+$handlerStack->unshift(
+    (new RetryAfterMiddleware($cache))(self::CACHE_KEY),
+    'retry_after',
+);
+
+$client = new Client([
+    'base_uri' => 'https://sometest.com/',
+    'handler' => $handlerStack,
+]);
+
+try {
+    $client->postAsync('sendMessage')->wait();
+} catch (RetryAfterException $exception) {
+    // Do something when the library blocks requests.
+}
