So I've been sifting through example after example of android code,
and I see most web requests don't actually catch that many exceptions,
maybe because their path is hard coded so there is no room for user
error?
I'm still confused as the best way to exit my background task
gracefully if my get() method raises an exception, at the moment
getting anything but a force close just isn't happening
