HTTP errors

If the RequestOptions.throwOnHttpError option is set to true, all HTTP responses with a status code higher than 400 will generate an HttpieOnHttpError error.

Note

Use isHTTPError function to know if it is an HTTP error.

interface HttpieOnHttpError<T> {
  statusCode: number;
  statusMessage: string;
  headers: IncomingHttpHeaders;
  data: T;
}

Failed to retrieve response body

interface HttpieFetchBodyError {
  statusCode: number;
  headers: IncomingHttpHeaders;
  message: string;
  /** @description original error */
  error?: Error;
}

Failed to decompress response body

If the RequestOptions.mode option is set with decompress or parse, Httpie will try to decompress the response body based on the content-encoding header.

If Httpie fails to decompress the response body, an HttpieDecompressionError will be raised.

interface HttpieDecompressionError {
  statusCode: number;
  headers: IncomingHttpHeaders;
  message: string;
  /** @description original error */
  error?: Error;
  /** @description original body as buffer */
  buffer: Buffer;
  /** @description encodings from 'content-encoding' header */
  encodings: string[];
}

Failed to parse response body

If the RequestOptions.mode option is set with parse, Httpie will try to parse the response body based on the content-type header.

If Httpie fails to parse the response body, an HttpieParserError will be raised.

interface HttpieParserError extends IHttpieHandlerError {
  statusCode: number;
  headers: IncomingHttpHeaders;
  message: string;
  /** @description original error */
  error?: Error;
  /** @description content-type from 'content-type' header without params */
  contentType: string;
  /** @description original body as buffer */
  buffer: Buffer;
  /** @description body as string */
  text: string | null;
