M-x list-process shows some network processes with the
status file-error.
According to the docs this is not a valid return
value for process-status:
Return the status of PROCESS.
The returned value is one of the following symbols:
run -- for a process that is running.
stop -- for a process stopped but continuable.
exit -- for a process that has exited.
signal -- for a process that has got a fatal signal.
open -- for a network stream connection that is open.
listen -- for a network stream server that is listening.
closed -- for a network stream connection that is closed.
connect -- when waiting for a non-blocking connection to complete.
failed -- when a non-blocking connection has failed.
nil -- if arg is a process name and no such process exists.
PROCESS may be a process, a buffer, the name of a process, or
nil, indicating the current buffer's process.
Apparently, process.c does set this this invalid status for some
reason:
Lisp_Object data = get_file_errno_data (err, contact, xerrno);
pset_status (p, list2 (Fcar (data), Fcdr (data)));
unbind_to (count, Qnil);
return;

So process.c sets the status to file-error, and it also has
error message obtained via get_file_errno_data.
I checked what it says for such a process:
("make client process failed" "Too many open files" :name "example.com" ...)
So I guess it's a too many open connections error, but instead of
saying that, it sets the status to the undocumented file-error.
What's strange is when I delete such a 'file-error' process from
the process list, then it immediately goes to connect and then open
state for the given domain, which is not clear for me how it is
possible, since delete-process removes the process from the list
of processes.

I found a relevant commit from 2018 by Lars, and its commit says:
src/process.c (connect_network_socket): When an async :family
'local client fails (with a file error, for instance), mark the
process as failed.
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/92ba34d89ac4f5b5bbb818e1c39a3cc12a405790#diff-18c8f6291e2c6a6f88223e509421492528e624157da1ba063401a6ffc36e63b6L3595
Does failed here mean the Qfailed status? Then why is status set to
to the car of file error returned by get_file_errno_data which
returns file-error or some other file related bug?
Somebody who was part of this discussion then may be able to shed
some light on it.

Presumably something is waiting for the connection to complete, and then
reconnects when it is?

Apparently, url-http has some kind of a retry mechanism,
so when the failed process is deleted then the process sentinel
restarts the connection.
Which does not feel entirely right, because if I delete the process
explicitly then the process sentinel should be deactivated,
instead of being called and letting it restart the connection.
