Hey Twitter API devs,

We're working on daemons to poll the search API, and we want to make
sure that our code will behave correctly when it encounters a
RETRY_AFTER header. We think our code should work correctly, but we'd
like to be able to test it with a real RETRY_AFTER header. Could you
add the option for us to add a RETRY_AFTER=X parameter to the HTTP
request that will force your servers to return a RETRY_AFTER header of
X seconds, so that we can easily test our code and then remove it?

Thanks.

You could probably force the RETRY_AFTER by doing a bunch of hits and maxing out the rate limit.
