Hi!
I am trying to write a client for pretty... well... creatively
designed web API. The server gives HTTP status 500 replies if
the requests are malformed, but the actual error message is
hidden in the body of the reply (an XML document!).
std.net.curl.get() throws an exception in this case. But I
would like to get the body to process the error message
within. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance,
Gregor
Hi Gregor,
If I am not completely wrong, the exception has an attribute
"msg" which should contain the body of the http response.
Kind regards
André
Unfortunately, this is not true. The msg only contains the text
information in the status line of the HTTP reply. If I'm not
mistaken, the exception is created in this line in std/net/curl.d:
enforce(statusLine.code / 100 == 2, new
HTTPStatusException(statusLine.code,
format("HTTP request returned status code %d (%s)",
statusLine.code, statusLine.reason)));
If anything is wrong, the server I'm interested in tends to reply
with a status code 500 and a generic status line text and a
bloated XML body containing the actual error message.
