Works on rxjs version 6.3.3

Open Console and see the retries

Sample Code

import { map, catchError, retryWhen, take, delay, concat } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { throwError } from 'rxjs';


export class ApiEXT {

    static get apiURL(): string { return 'http://localhost:57886/api'; };
    static httpCLIENT: HttpClient;

 static POST(postOBJ: any, retryCOUNT: number = 0, retryINTERVAL: number = 1000) {
        return this.httpCLIENT
            .post(this.apiURL, JSON.stringify(postOBJ))
            .pipe(
                map(this.handleSUCCESS),
                retryWhen(errors => errors.pipe(delay(retryINTERVAL), take(retryCOUNT), concat(throwError("Giving up Retry.!")))),
                catchError(this.handleERROR));
    }


  private static handleSUCCESS(json_response: string): any {
        //TODO: cast_and_return    
        return JSON.parse(json_response);

    }

 private static handleERROR(error: Response) {
        let errorMSG: string;
        switch (error.status) {
            case -1: errorMSG = "(" + error.status + "/" + error.statusText + ")" + " Server Not Reachable.!"; break;
            default: errorMSG = "(" + error.status + "/" + error.statusText + ")" + " Unknown Error while connecting with server.!"; break;
        }
        console.error(errorMSG);
        return throwError(errorMSG);
    }

}
