Hi,
I'm working on a patch to LWP::UserAgent to detect failures other than
those that can be assigned HTTP status codes -- particularly, network
failures.
There's logic all over libwww-perl that assumes that `something wrong'
implies a status value between 500 and 599. Right now, my patches assign
590-599 to my new failure modes, but I know that this isn't the Right
Thing.
Before I do any more work on the right patch, does anybody have a strong
view that LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Status should _not_ be cognizant of
errors that aren't HTTP errors?
