Chrome should try to resume downloads after a read timeout

Reported by jongran...@gmail.com, Oct 17

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
Any website server that is slow and timesout

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Download a large file, eg 50 MB from an unreliable server, or over an unreliable connection (you can even disconnect your wifi to reproduce this)
2. Connect wifi again.
3. Observe that Chrome never resumes the download

What is the expected behavior?
Chrome should resume the download
This would be like wget, which does manage to easily resume the download of same URLs

What went wrong?
Chrome did not resume the download after read timeout

wget --read-timeout=10 -c --tries=0 [URL]   is my my workaround

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100  Channel: n/a
OS Version: Ubuntu LTS
Flash Version:

 jongrantuk@ Thanks for the issue...

As per comment #0, the issue seems to be a feature request. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!
I realised this used to work ok until recently. I wonder if latest Chrome update broke this download resume?  It's quite a basic feature, so I expect it is already there, and just got broken.
