Return an error object on connection failure

[kevva]

https://github.com/sindresorhus/got/blob/master/index.js#L64. Could set a custom property (.resCode) with the error code and supply a user friendly error message like Couldn't connect to http://github.com (code 500).

The resCode property would need to be well documented since many will want too look for it.

Could be either resCode/statusCode/code. What are others using?

[kevva]

statusCode is what I meant ;p. But code is probably better. Don't know what others are using or if anyone is actually setting a custom property. Most authors probably just returns the status as the error message.

I stumbled on destroying response object before calling cb - it cleans all data, that was attached to 4xx response (it was JSON with errors). It some how connected to this issue - returned response object is destroyed.

Should this behavior be fixed as well?

[sindresorhus]

Yes
