Specific Exception on connection error

Just making a little easier to handle a "Unable to connect" exception.

Hello:

Can you please provide an example for catching this error in the code using the class? I shut down the API server that I am hitting and I do see "unable to connect" in the logs, but I cannot catch it within the code and tell user that something went wrong.

Here is the simple try/catch block I am using.

try
{
$response = Request::get($apiURL)
->expectsJson()
->sendIt();

echo "

";

if (!$response->hasErrors())

{

$body = $response->body;

foreach ($body as $k => $v)

{

print "$k=$v
\n";

}

}

else

{

echo "API returned non-200 " . $response->code . "
\n";

}

}

catch (Exception $e)

{

throw new Exception( 'Something really gone wrong', 0, $e);

}

@hyildirim you just need to catch the specific exception, like this:

try {
    $users = $api->get('users/list');
} catch (\Httpful\Exception\ConnectionErrorException $e) {
    // something went wrong, redirect the user to a "offline" page
}

I appreciate the quick response. That worked like a charm. Thx very much!
