I’m trying to download files from a SharePoint environment using the SharepointOnlineConnector transformer in FME. After a certain period, we hit the timeout criteria, and SharePoint becomes unavailable/unreachable.

According to Microsoft’s documentation, there is a Retry-After header option that can be used to introduce a delay after each API call:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/embedded/development/limits-calling#patterns-and-best-practices

However, I cannot find this option among the parameters of the SharepointOnlineConnector transformer:
https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/Transformers/sharepointonlineconnector-pkg.htm

Question:
Is it possible to extend the transformer with a header clause where we can set the Retry-After parameter? Or is there an alternative way to implement this behavior in FME?
