Does OkHttp3 auto retry POST request by default

The concern is about a bill system.

When the client(Android or PC) use okhttp3 to send a POST or PUT request, the bill server may get the request and insert a bill record in database but will response within a really long period, so the client does not manage to receive a valid(in-time) response. The point is at this circumstance, will okhttp3 re-send the request?

This is very important because if it retries, there will be duplicated records in database without comparing the old bill records.

The reason I doubt this is that the OkHttpClient.Builder has a method called retryOnConnectionFailure, how will this affect the post request behavior? As the method name is about connection.

Also the same question about the retry behavior of HttpURLConnection.

Refer to this issue #2394 in github. It seems that okhttp 3.2 DOES have this retry issue. And in 3.3 version, this behavior changes to
Don't recover if we encounter a read timeout after sending the request, but do recover if we encounter a timeout building a connection.
