Previously, it was only possible to retry the same request on a
different protocol name that had the exact same binary payloads.

Introduce a way of trying a different request on a different protocol if
the first one fails with Unsupported protocol.

This helps with adding new req-response versions in polkadot while
preserving compatibility with unupgraded nodes.

The way req-response protocols were bumped previously was that they were
bundled with some other notifications protocol upgrade, like for async
backing (but that is more complicated, especially if the feature does
not require any changes to a notifications protocol). Will be needed for
implementing https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/47

TODO:
- [x]  add tests
- [x] add guidance docs in polkadot about req-response protocol

Substrate

GitHub license GitLab Status PRs Welcome Stack Exchange

Substrate is a next-generation framework for blockchain innovation 🚀.

Getting Started

Head to docs.substrate.io and follow the installation instructions. Then try out one of the tutorials. Refer to the Docker instructions to quickly run Substrate, Substrate Node Template, Subkey, or to build a chain spec.

Community & Support

Join the highly active and supportive community on the Substrate Stack Exchange to ask questions about use and problems you run into using this software. Please do report bugs and issues here for anything you suspect requires action in the source.

Contributions & Code of Conduct

Please follow the contributions guidelines as outlined in docs/contributor/CONTRIBUTING.md. In all communications and contributions, this project follows the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.

Security

The security policy and procedures can be found in docs/contributor/SECURITY.md.

License

The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.

In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
