Motivation and Context
Aligning the SK agent HTTP stack behavior with the SK one, where HttpClientException and RequestFailedException (thrown by AzureSDK) are translated into HttpOperationException. Doing so hides SK/Agent internal implementation details (whether requests are sent via vanilla HttpClient or third-party client library) from SK/Agent consumer code without losing original exception details. Additionally, this will future-proof the SK/Agent consumer code, as it will require only one catch block - catch(HttpOperationException ex), which once added, will work regardless of the connector (currently, only OpenAI) used to access LLM.
