|
|
|
|
## Errors
|
|
|
|
### HTTP
|
|
|
|
The HTTP client does not throw unless truly exceptional.
|
|
|
|
* A request that successfully executes resulting in a 404, 500 etc... will return a response object with a status code and a body.
|
|
* Redirects (3xx) will be followed by default.
|
|
|
|
See the [tests](./__tests__) for detailed examples.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
To enable detailed console logging of all HTTP requests and responses, set the NODE_DEBUG environment varible:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
export NODE_DEBUG=http
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Node support
|
|
|
|
The http-client is built using the latest LTS version of Node 12. It may work on previous node LTS versions but it's tested and officially supported on Node12+.
|
|
|
|
## Support and Versioning
|
|
|
|
We follow semver and will hold compatibility between major versions and increment the minor version with new features and capabilities (while holding compat).
