flow that allows assigning unique ids to payments #8040

Let's assume the following: I have a monero rpc wallet. I select an address and an amount and i try to make the payment via a http call. The network fails at that point, and i'm not sure if the payment succeeded. There should be a way to specify a transaction description, and if the monero wallets sees that transaction description twice, it will refuse the second payment. I can't be the only one who lost money doing this.

Can you explain what you mean with the network fails? At what point does it fail?

The http call fails. You send the request, the monero rpc processes it, but the response doesn't get back to you, because of a packet loss, or because your internet connection fails at that exact moment.
